Cognitive impairment, a prevalent non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD), significantly impacts patient quality of life. However, its underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Intriguingly, ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba and their collaborators have conducted a comprehensive analysis of the olfactory receptor repertoire of the hagfish (Eptatretus burgeri), a jawless vertebrate.

Dr. Richard Costanzo discusses deep brain stimulation research about the sense of smell. This is an in-depth interview with Dr. Richard Costanzo, professor emeritus with Virginia Commonwealth ...

In a recent review article published in Frontiers in Molecular Science, researchers discussed the links between genetic, physical, and neurological conditions and olfactory loss and inflammation. They ...

Viruses can inflame and disrupt connections between the olfactory system, which governs the sense of smell, and the part of the brain associated with memory and learning, possibly accelerating the ...

A research team has addressed the long-standing challenge of creating artificial olfactory sensors with arrays of diverse high-performance gas sensors. Their newly developed biomimetic olfactory chips ...

In a recent article published in Scientific Reports, researchers investigated the changes in olfactory bulb volume and structural connectivity of the brain in patients with olfactory dysfunction (OD) ...

A new fluorescent imaging probe can for the first time objectively and non-invasively measure loss of smell, clinically known as anosmia. Targeting the olfactory nerve, the new tool has potential to ...
