Sensory neurosis of the nose

Sensory Biology: How the Nose Knows

Sensory information is encoded as patterns of synaptic activity. Recent evidence suggests that differential synaptic release and use of postsynaptic glutamate receptors is critical for encoding information from polymodal neurons.

The Grueneberg ganglion: a novel sensory system in the nose.

Within the nasal epithelium of mammals, there are several compartments which are populated with neuronal cells. One of them - the so-called Grueneberg ganglion - is composed of ciliated neurons residing in the anterior region of the nose. Although cells of the Grueneberg ganglion lack direct contact with the lumen of the nasal cavity, they are endowed with features indicative of olfactory senso...

The Neurosis of Man

MALE AND FEMALE. By Margaret Mead. New York, William Morrow and Co., 1949. 477 pp. $5.00. Margaret Mead has made an assumption, not necessarily held by all present day sexologists, that there is a fundamental difference between the human male and the human female, and has utilized four hundred and seventy-seven pages in impressive documentation of this thesis. Seven Southwest Pacific societies,...

Symbolically Describing the Sensory Perceptions from an Artificial Nose

For the past two decades, electronic noses are being developed to serve a wide variety of industrial applications in addition to providing many insights into biological systems. A large part of the development into olfaction has been focussed on the sensor technology and development of sensor systems capable of measuring chemical gases [3]. To complete the model however, consideration needs als...
