Structure, expression, and function of olfactory receptors. In The Senses: A Comprehensive Reference, Volume Editors: Allan, I. B.; Akimichi, K.; Gordon, M. S.; Gerald, W.; Thomas, D. A.; Richard, H. M.; Peter, D.; Donata, O.; Stuart, F.; Gary, K. B.; Bushnell, M. C...
Olfactory function in humans is often evaluated by odor threshold which partly reflects the anatomy of the nasal cavity [26], the expression of olfactory receptors in the nasal epithelium [27] and the olfactory bulb volume [28,29]. In contrast, odor identification and discrimination are more str...
Olfactory receptors (Ors) convert chemical signals—the binding of odors and pheromones—to electrical signals through the depolarization of olfactory sensory neurons. Vertebrates Ors are G-protein-coupled receptors, stimulated by odors to produce intracellular second messengers that gate ion channels. Inse...
Olfactory receptor cells are widely thought to regenerate after degeneration and also thought to show turnover in normal circumstances in animal olfactory epithelium. The identity of the factor that controls proliferation and differentiation of olfactory receptor cells is a very important problem that has...
Given that olfactory receptors (ORs) are the largest family of GPCRs in the superfamily28, and can detect and discriminate volatile environmental chemicals over a wide odorant space29, here we applied molecular-screening, whole-transcriptome and single-cell analyses to interrogate the expression ...
What is the function of the olfactory nerve?Nerves:Nerves are white, cord-like structures that consist of numerous axons classified as either motor neurons or Dendron of sensory neurons. The nerves are bound together by a form of a tough sheet of connective tissues called the nerve sheath....

The inflammation of the central nervous system (CNS) impairs the olfactory function and gives rise to large amounts of extracellular ATP and adenosine, which act as pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mediators, respectively. However, it is unclear whether neuronal A 1R in the olfactory bulb ...
Odorant binding proteins (Obps) are remarkable in their number, diversity, and abundance, yet their role in olfactory coding remains unclear. They are widely believed to be required for transporting hydrophobic odorants through an aqueous lymph to odorant receptors. We construct a map of the关键词...
