When Buck and Axel won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2004 ... electrical signals that are transmitted to the olfactory bulb of the brain, where they are processed and sent to ...

we hypothesized that blockade of the NMDA receptor may impair neurogenesis in the olfactory bulbs and affect social interaction in mice. The care and use of animals were approved by the Ethics ...

2018; Peng et al., 2017). At 6 months of age, the magnitude of odor-evoked local field potentials in the olfactory bulb and piriform cortex followed the order APOE4 > APOE3 > APOE2; by 12 months of ...

(4) Following suprathreshold olfactory inputs, VP-bound interneurons are activated stronger and then inhibit e/mTCs and MCs (Tobin et al., 2010). Ethical approval was not required for the study ...

Receptors of this nerve project into the nasal cavity and send impulses via the olfactory nerve to the olfactory bulbs (Tortora and Derrickson, 2020). The optic nerve is purely sensory and transmits ...
