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

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

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 ...

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 ...

Gentle nasal spray vaccines against COVID, the flu and RSV are coming. They may work better than shots in the arm ...

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 ...

Throughout the postnatal life of rodents, neural progenitor cells migrate from the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the forebrain through the rostral migratory system (RMS) to the olfactory bulb.
