The sprawling network of the visual cortex reigned supreme in the field of sensory processing, contributing significantly to our understanding of sensory perception. In contrast, the study of ...

Howard Hughes Medical Institute researchers have discovered that pheromones essential for mating behavior in mice are recognized by the nose and not by the vomeronasal system, as researchers had long ...

A novel connectomics approach reveals synaptic connectivity differences between narrowly and broadly tuned olfactory glomeruli in Drosophila melanogaster, providing new insights into glomerular ...

The odors we give off are a sort of body language - one that may affect our relationships more than we realize. New research from the lab of Prof. Noam Sobel at the Weizmann Institute of Science ...

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 ...

New Haven, Conn. -- Full development of the sense of smell in mammals is dependent on functional activity during critical periods in development, according to a study by researchers at Yale, ...

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 ...
