Scientists used to think that we were born with all the brain cells we'd ever have. But in 1998, researchers showed that even adults keep making new ones. That discovery launched a massive effort to ...

New research from an international team of scientists has demonstrated how odors evoke memories in the brain, in ways stronger than other senses. Using neuroimaging and intracranial electrophysiology, ...

Some researchers believe fetuses may be able to start smelling — i.e., reacting to the chemicals they “breathe” in through their noses — in the womb as early as month 6, though the sense really ramps ...

An olfactory receptor typically associated with the sense of smell may also trigger breast cancer cells to metastasize through a signaling pathway to the brain, bones and lung. Future research could ...

In the dynamic world of technology, an innovative brain-computer interface has been developed, enabling users to experience the sensation of smell virtually. This cutting-edge invention holds the ...

Yale researchers have found that odors sensed through eating are weaker than those sensed through inhalation. The study, which was published in the journal NeuroImage, set out to compare smells that ...

(NEXSTAR) — Over a year into the coronavirus pandemic, COVID-19 “long-haulers” may be feeling a sense of urgency about their sense of smell. Recent studies estimate that about 10% of COVID-19 patients ...

Mosquitoes use their sense of smell to find their next meal: us. So what would happen if you tweaked their smell so that humans smell really gross to them? That’s what Dr. Chris Potter and his lab ...

(NEXSTAR) – Over a year into the coronavirus pandemic, COVID-19 “long-haulers” may be feeling a sense of urgency about their sense of smell. Recent studies estimate that about 10% of COVID-19 patients ...

A huge unmet need exists for therapeutic targets to prevent or delay metastasis of breast cancer to the brain, the leading cause of death from the malignancy. “The common perception is that the only ...
