Trace amines are endogenous compounds classically regarded as comprising β-
phenylethyalmine, p-tyramine, tryptamine, p-octopamine, and some of their metabolites …

Trace amine-associated receptors (TAARs) are a family of G protein-coupled receptors that
function as odorant receptors in the main olfactory system of vertebrates. TAARs are …

The nervous system regulates host immunity in complex ways. Vertebrate olfactory sensory
neurons (OSNs) are located in direct contact with pathogens; however, OSNs' ability to …

Hemispheric specializations are well studied at the functional level but less is known about
the underlying neural mechanisms. We identified a small cluster of cholinergic neurons in …

Studying chemosensory processing desires precise chemical cue presentation, behavioral
response monitoring, and large-scale neuronal activity recording. Here we present Fish-on …

Pungent chemical compounds originating from decaying tissue are strong drivers of animal
behavior. Two of the best-characterized death smell components are putrescine (PUT) and …

The olfactory system is renowned for its functional and structural plasticity, with both
peripheral and central structures displaying persistent neurogenesis throughout life and …

Estrogens are well-known to regulate development of sexual dimorphism of the brain;
however, their role in embryonic brain development prior to sex-differentiation is unclear …

Whether an odorant is perceived as pleasant or unpleasant (hedonic value) governs a
range of crucial behaviors: foraging, escaping danger, and social interaction. Despite its …

Abstract Background The axons of Olfactory Sensory Neurons (OSNs) project to
reproducible target locations within the Olfactory Bulb (OB), converting odorant experience …
