Chromatin-based Reprogramming of Courtship Regulators With Social Experience
(2021)Organisms are presented with a wide variety of environmental stimuli and must interpret and respond to these cues in to perform a wide variety of behaviors, such as foraging, mating, fleeing, and fighting. The ability of ... -
Decoding the olfactory map: targeted transcriptomics link olfactory receptors to glomeruli
(2022)The external world is perceived via sensory receptors arranged in highly organized systems according to functional strategies, which in turn reflect features of critical importance to both the sense and the animal. The receptor ... -
Explorations in Olfactory Receptor Structure and Function
(2014)Olfaction is one of the most primitive of our senses, and the olfactory receptors that mediate this very important chemical sense comprise the largest family of genes in the mammalian genome. It is therefore surprising that ... -
Fruit Selectivity in Anthropoid Primates: Size Matters
(International Journal of Primatology, 2020-06-01)© 2020, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature. Certain features of both extant and fossil anthropoid primates have been interpreted as adaptations to ripe fruit foraging and feeding particularly spatulate ... -
Olfactory Drug Delivery with Intranasal Sprays after Nasal Midvault Reconstruction.
(International journal of pharmaceutics, 2023-08)Conductive olfaction and nose to brain drug delivery are important processes that remain limited by inadequate odorant or drug delivery to the olfactory airspace. Primary challenges include anatomic barriers and poor targeting ... -
Olfactory receptor accessory proteins play crucial roles in receptor function and gene choice
(2017)Understanding how we detect our environment is crucial to understanding how life evolved and now functions. Volatile chemicals from our surroundings are sensed by our olfactory system, a primitive sense that organisms have ... -
Unique nasal turbinal morphology reveals Homunculus patagonicus functionally converged on modern platyrrhine olfactory sensitivity.
(Journal of human evolution, 2022-04-21)The phyletic position of early Miocene platyrrhine Homunculus patagonicus is currently a matter of debate. Some regard it to be an early member of the Pitheciidae, represented today by the sakis, uakaris, and titi monkeys. ...
