This image shows individual olfactory sensory axons (thin fibers) labeled with adenoviruses traversing through the olfactory bulb and terminating in their target glomerulus. Cell nuclei in the ...
Olfactory receptors are able to detect air-borne odour molecules that enter the nasal cavity and bind to olfactory receptors. The activation of olfactory receptors results in olfactory receptor ...
Moreover, optogenetics and single sensillum recordings provide evidence that IR25a co-receptor might modulate the activity of typical Orco-dependent olfactory sensory neurons. The authors also provide ...
Yet their findings disproved this hypothesis, as these olfactory cortex neurons were found to be tuned to a broad range of sensory stimuli. "This combination of broad connectivity and broad ...
