    Perceptual Rivalry: Nostrils Alternate To Process Competing Odors  Aug 25, 2009
    (June 18, 2008) The olfactory bulb in the brain appears to change in size in a way that corresponds to individual alterations in sense of smell, according to a report in the Archives of Otolaryngology -- Head. . (Science Daily)

    Geomagnetic Navigation in Sea Turtl...  Aug 1, 2009
    This organ is connected the olfactory bulb in the turtle s brain. It is possible that small particles of magnetite, an iron ore, are located near the sea turtle s nose, which help stimulate the turtle s brain with a sense of magnetic location, according to Witherington. (Suite101.com)

    Boost your sex drive with aroma therapy  Jul 16, 2009
    Our sense of smell stimulates the nerve endings of the olfactory bulb, which lies at the back of the nose, which in turn stimulates a part of the brain called the limbic system that triggers our libido, explains Blossom Kochhar, renowned aroma therapist. The essential oils do magic and stimulate the pituitary gland, the master of endocrine gland, which controls hormone production. (India Times, India)

    Decrease In Sense Of Smell Seen In Lupus Patients  May 7, 2009

    Neuroscientists discover long-term potentiation in the olfactory bulb  May 4, 2009
    D. student in the neurosciences program at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, are the first to discover a form of synaptic memory in the olfactory bulb, the part of the brain that processes the sense of smell. Their study, entitled "Long-term plasticity of excitatory inputs to granule cells in the rat olfactory bulb" will be published in the June 2009 issue of Nature Neuroscience and is currently available online ... While laboratories around the world have found LTP in nearly... (EurekAlert!)

    Creating Ideal Neural Cells For Clinical Use  Apr 19, 2009
    When the C-NPCs created using the Terskikh protocol were transplanted into mice, they became active neurons and integrated into the cortex and olfactory bulb. The transplanted cells did not generate tumor outgrowth. (Science Daily)

    Six Ways to Boost Brainpower  Feb 19, 2009
    Neurogenesis also takes place in the olfactory bulb, which is involved in processing smells. But not all the neurons that are born survive; in fact, most of them die. (Scientific American)

    Neural Mapping Paints Haphazard Picture Of Odor Receptors  Feb 14, 2009
    Inexplicably, this seemingly random arrangement is faithfully preserved across individuals and even species, with cells that process the same scent located in precisely the same location on the olfactory bulb, the brain's first processing station for odors ... "It had been thought that the layout of the olfactory bulb was variable from individual to individual, but followed a chemotopic order where cells handling similar odor responses are near each other," says Markus Meister, the Jeff C. Tarr... (Science Daily)
