New research reveals how the brain rapidly adapts to sensory changes using a feedback loop between the olfactory cortex and the olfactory bulb.

We hypothesize that changes within the population of olfactory sensory neurons may facilitate adaptation of an individual’s olfactory system to its unique olfactory environment. 2. How does odorant ...

There are three main types of neurone: sensory, motor and relay. They have some features in common: A long fibre (axon) which is insulated by a fatty (myelin) sheath. They are long so they can ...
