Background: Odor transduction, occurring in the chemosensory cilia of vertebrate olfactory sensory neurons, is triggered by guanosine triphosphate-coupled odor receptors and mediated by a cyclic adenosine monophosphate ...

Odor transduction takes place in the cilia of olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) of the olfactory epithelium, where they are surrounded by sustentacular cells (SCs) and covered by a mucus layer. Upon odorant binding, an odor ...

Growing evidence suggests that the main olfactory epithelium contains a subset of olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) responding to pheromones. One candidate subpopulation expresses the calcium activated cation channel TRPM5 ...

Research on Blindsight, Neglect/Extinction and Phantom limb syndromes, as well as electrical measurements of mammalian brain activity, have suggested the dependence of vivid perception on both incoming sensory information ...

Olfactory cilia (~60 μm long, 0.2 μm diameter) project from the apical knob of the single dendrite of olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs). Odorants binding to G-protein coupled receptors trigger a cAMP-cascade in the cilia ...
