Olfactory dysfunction links to 139 conditions, with inflammation playing a key role in memory decline and cognitive issues.

The olfactory bulb is the part of the central nervous system that receives olfactory information from the olfactory receptor neurons and relays the information to subcortical and cortical areas of ...

Some of the virus reaches and infects the olfactory bulb, the center in the brain connected to the sense of smell, by flowing up from the mouth to the nose. The research team determined that if ...

Functional fragrance, which many may also call aromatherapy, uses the power of scent to influence your brain chemistry. It’s ...

Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia and it affects around 944,000 people in the UK. A study has found a ...

"This degeneration leads to a decreased number of olfactory sensory nerves and causes the olfactory bulb to atrophy." And with fewer nerves in this nasal area, "we don't perceive smell as well or as ...

They also note the possibility of confounding because the biological matrix of olfactory bulb tissues is similar to a few polymeric materials. For some subjects, researchers could not use one ...

"Our original hypothesis was that we may find some bacteria in the part of the brain called the olfactory bulb, which is the one part of the brain connected to the nose," Salinas said. "However ...

The odor molecules are thought to activate sensory neurons in the nose, which then send signals to the olfactory bulb. The signals are thought to travel from here to regions of the brain such as ...

This important study partially fills the gap in the knowledge of olfaction at the level of the Anterior Olfactory Nucleus (AON) and Piriform Cortex with functional magnetic resonance imaging, ...

Research suggests smell training may help improve both cognitive and neuronal functions. Olfactory training could be an ...

The olfactory system is the sensory system that is responsible for the sense of smell (olfaction). It receives, processes and interprets odour information. Our ears are known for their ability to ...
