olfactory receptors

People with more carboxylic acids in their body odor are more attractive to mosquitoes, a study finds.

Neurons in mosquito antennae can express more than one olfactory receptor at a time, a redundancy that likely ensures they don’t lose a potential host’s scent.

The introduced cells engrafted in the nose, became olfactory sensory neurons, and sent axons to the animals’ brains.

The hawkmoth’s brain uses a different area to search for food than it does to look for where to lay eggs.  

The simple therapy likely exploits the neural plasticity of the olfactory system.

Odors experienced via the mouth are essential to our sense of taste.

African elephants have more genes for olfactory receptors than dogs or humans, a study shows.
