Olfactory Bulb - Physiology
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Olfactory Bulb'Ovoid body resting on the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone where the olfactory nerve terminates. The olfactory bulb contains several types of nerve cells including the mitral cells, on whose dendrites the olfactory nerve synapses, forming the olfactory glomeruli. The accessory olfactory bulb, which receives the projection from the VOMERONASAL ORGAN via the vomeronasal nerve, is also included here. |

Cells from central nervous system with morphology similar to radial glia and properties intermediate between astrocytes and Schwann cells were called growth-promoting glia or aldynoglia. These cells are present in adult brain olfactory bulb, ... Read more...
GABA uptake-dependent Ca(2+) signaling in developing olfactory bulb astrocytes.
28 Sep 2009 We studied GABAergic signaling in astrocytes of olfactory bulb slices using confocal Ca(2+) imaging and two-photon Na(+) imaging. GABA evoked Ca(2+) transients in astrocytes that persisted in the presence of GABA(A) and GABA(B) receptor antagonists, ... Read more...
28 Sep 2009 Sniffing is a characteristic odor sampling behavior in various mammalian species, which is associated with an increase in both nasal airflow rate and breathing frequency. Although the importance of sniffing in olfaction is well recognized, it has ... Read more...
