The numbers of potential neurotoxicants in the environment are raising and pose a great risk
for humans and the environment. Currently neurotoxicity assessment is mostly performed to …

Noses are extremely sophisticated chemical detectors allowing animals to use scents to
interpret and navigate their environments. Odor detection starts with the activation of odorant …

The Ensembl gene annotation system has been used to annotate over 70 different
vertebrate species across a wide range of genome projects. Furthermore, it generates the …

The mouse olfactory mucosa is a complex chemosensory tissue composed of multiple cell
types, neuronal and non-neuronal. We have here applied RNA-seq hierarchically, in three …

Evolution sculpts the olfactory nervous system in response to the unique sensory challenges
facing each species. In vertebrates, dramatic and diverse adaptations to the chemical …

Anosmia, loss of smell, is a prevalent symptom of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Anosmia may be
explained by several mechanisms driven by infection of non-neuronal cells and damage in …

The olfactory system, composed of the olfactory organs and the olfactory bulb, allows
organisms to interact with their environment and through the detection of odor signals …

This review addresses the role of chemical communication in mammals, giving special
attention to the vomeronasal system in pheromone-mediated interactions. The vomeronasal …

The mammalian olfactory system displays species-specific adaptations to different
ecological niches. To investigate the evolutionary dynamics of olfactory sensory neuron …

The sense of smell helps us navigate the environment, but its molecular architecture and
underlying logic remain understudied. The spatial location of odorant receptor genes (Olfrs) …
