Finding two women without olfactory bulbs, but with a sense of smell seemed like too much of a coincidence, so the team did a deep dive into the data, analyzing MRI brain scans from the Human ...

A recent study published in Current Biology has found that animals living at elevations of 1,000 meters and higher have a ...

A team of researchers have uncovered a sliver of the population who have no apparent olfactory bulbs yet can somehow still smell. Extensive tests of two of these people proved they could identify ...

The olfactory perceptual fingerprints of the two women who could smell without apparent olfactory bulbs fell within the norm of the study. Yet, the two women were unusually similar to each other in ...

Microplastics were found in the olfactory bulbs of eight of 15 human brains at autopsy, a case series showed. A total of 16 synthetic polymer particles and fibers were identified, reported Luís ...

Another measure of an animal's smelling ability may be the size of its olfactory bulb, the brain region responsible for processing odors. Dogs, which are famous for their scent-tracking skills, have ...

Microplastics were found in the olfactory bulbs of eight of 15 human brains at autopsy, a case series showed. A total of 16 synthetic polymer particles and fibers were identified, reported Luís ...

A study published in JAMA Network Open confirmed that microplastics can be present in the olfactory bulbs of the brain in people, based on their analysis of 15 deceased people.

The new study, published Monday in the journal JAMA Network Open, found microplastics in the olfactory bulbs of eight of 15 cadavers that ranged in size from 5.5 micrometers, or 0.000217 of an ...
