Enhancement, Modulation and Electrophysiological Characterization of Murine Olfactory Neurons to Odorant Stimulation in Vitro 

Viswaprakash, Nilmini (2006-05-15)
The objectives of this study is to electrophysiologically characterize cultured olfactory epithelium (OE) and to compare with that of rapidly isolated OE; to establish the Gai involvement in the modulation of adenylyl ...

Synaptic Glutamate Receptor Dysfunction in Tissue and Animal Models of Alzheimer’s Disease 

Kanju, Patrick (2005-08-15)
The complexity of cognitive decline involved in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) warrants a thorough investigation into the molecular mechanism that may hold the basis for the impaired learning and memory. Indeed, certain molecules ...

Zinc Nanoparticle Enhancement of the Olfactory Neuron Response to Odorants Associated with Explosives 

Moore, Christopher H. (2011-04-25)
Many odorants related to manufacturing explosives have low volatilities and have no detectable odor. We found that zinc metal nanoparticles in picomolar concentrations strongly enhanced olfactory receptor neuron responses ...
