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 ...

Pinched nerves in the neck commonly cause headaches, muscle spasms, and other symptoms. They can be debilitating, but most of the time, they are treatable without invasive measures. However, sometimes ...

J Balvin had everything but nerves at the 2025 Grammys. PEOPLE caught up with the Columbian star ahead of the annual award show on Sunday, Feb. 2, which he attended as a nominee in the best ...

This is where Nerve Armor comes into play. Designed to support and protect the nervous system, Nerve Armor is a cutting-edge supplement that aims to enhance nerve health and function. This ...

One peripheral nerve, the olfactory nerve, is unique in that it continuously regenerates throughout life. The olfactory nerve glia, olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs), are the primary phagocytes ...

You may relieve diabetic nerve pain with medications and some forms of exercise. Managing diabetes helps with long-term relief and slows down the progression of nerve damage. Diabetes may cause ...

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 ...

Summary: New research reveals how the brain rapidly adapts to sensory changes using a feedback loop between the olfactory cortex and the olfactory bulb. Scientists trained mice to associate rewards ...

The Drosophila antennal lobe houses synapses between olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) and downstream projection neurons (PNs) in stereotyped glomeruli. Many glomeruli exhibit structural plasticity in ...

Myelinated neurons transmit electrical signals more quickly than the unmyelinated nerves in the body. Myelinated axons are present in sensory neurons and motor neurons, but not all sensory and motor ...

A new memo by NIH Acting Director Matthew Memoli, obtained by Forbes, clarifies what can and can’t be done with regard to clinical trials, purchasing, research publications and public ...

The sense of smell promotes adaptive behaviors such as feeding and soothing, but how early humans begin to process odors represents a gap in knowledge for researchers. In a study published in ...
