The olfactory system is involved in the detection and processing of odour signals. In humans, the sense of olfaction has a significant influence on ...

좋아하는 음식 냄새를 못 맡는 것이 대표적인 치매 질환인 알츠하이머의 첫 신호일 수 있다. 그 이유가 세포 수준에서 처음 밝혀져 치매 조기 진단 지표 개발에 한 발 다가섰다. 대구경북과학기술원(DGIST)은 문제일 뇌과학과 ...

DGIST Prof. Moon Cheil’s team reports the discovery of two immune cell mechanisms operating within the brain’s olfactory ...

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, ...

Taiwanese scientists have linked abnormalities in the olfactory region of mouse brains with behaviors connected to autism spectrum disorder, using a novel artificial intelligence (AI)-based brain ...

A research team has, for the first time, identified at the cellular level why the olfactory system is the first to be damaged ...

From the ability to detect the smell of wet soil to the scent of ripe fruit, the human olfactory system has evolved over thousands of years in response to how people live and what they eat, according ...

A research team recently invented a novel, wireless, skin-interfaced olfactory feedback system that can release various odours with miniaturized odor generators (OGs). The new technology integrates ...

Mice make use of rapid nerve cell interactions in the brain's smell center to distinguish one odor from another, a new study shows. Both mice and humans can rapidly identify odors, researchers say, in ...

Exposure to ultrafine particles from traffic alters the expression of many genes in human olfactory mucosa cells, a new study shows. The study is the first to combine an analysis of emissions from ...
