Proper brain function relies on exquisite balance between excitation and inhibition, where inhibitory circuits play fundamental roles toward sculpting principle neuron output and information ...

Their findings point to never-before-seen fast-updating signals in a feedback loop between the brain's olfactory cortex and olfactory bulb. These signals may help put odors and sounds into new ...

One example is Kallmann syndrome, in which olfactory bulb development is disordered. Individuals with this condition have olfactory loss as well as deterioration in various brain areas, but it is ...

As early as one month of age, odors triggered activity in brain regions strongly associated with the sense of smell, as well as the thalamus, which is important for processing sensory information ...

The olfactory system is the sensory system that is responsible for the sense of smell (olfaction). It receives, processes and interprets odour information. Interactions among insects, plants ...

These cells extend upwards from the roof of your nose towards the smell-processing centre of your brain, called the olfactory bulb. You can lose your ability to smell due to injury or infection – for ...

These findings challenge a long-standing dogma in the field and suggest that different types of receptors, that is, olfactory and ionotropic receptors, can be co-expressed in the same chemosensory ...

Giving in to cynicism makes us less trusting, less connected, and even less physically and mentally healthy.

Researchers have now discovered that what we call the 'dessert stomach' is rooted in the brain. The same nerve cells that make us feel full after a meal ...

Feb. 19, 2025 — Researchers find large language models process diverse types of data, like different languages, audio inputs, images, etc., similarly to how humans ...
