What is your favorite smell? What does it make you think of? I love the smell of fresh baked cookies, lilac flowers, and coffee! Each brings back sweet memories. Thanks to our olfactory system we are able to enjoy our favorite smells and avoid bad smells. This week we are highlighting the olfactory

The processing of sensory information in the brain involves a complex network of neural connections specific to each type of sensory input. Much is known about the neural wiring associated with most senses, but the deeper wiring of the olfactory system has remained poorly understood. Nobuhiko Miyasaka, Yoshihiro Yoshihara and colleagues from the RIKEN Brain Science Institute, in collaboration with researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, have now mapped previously unknown olfactory pathways that help to explain how smell affects behavior1.
Memories triggered by smell are more emotional than those triggered by sounds, pictures or words

Sensory Processing can be such a confusing topic. From terms you may have never heard of to the spectrum of ways it effects all of us, it can be overwhelming. That is why I am excited
The olfactory system is commonly referred to as our sense of smell. What we smell can affect behavior, emotions, memory and thoughts.

Examples of Olfactory Overresponsiveness A student who is overresponsive to olfactory input (smells) may: Notice smells which others do not notice Become distracted by smells in the classroom and other settings Complain of feeling unwell, but may not be able to identify that it smells causing the nausea/headaches Avoid places which are strongly smelling e.g. …

The brain's complexity depends largely on the variety of its neuronal cell types, but what further functional heterogeneity exists within each class of neurons is still poorly documented. Focusing on the olfactory system, Troy Margrie and colleagues now report that mitral cells belonging to the same glomerulus — and therefore receiving input from one common odorant receptor — express similar levels of the HCN2 ion channel subunit, and thus present similar neuronal excitability. Mitral cells engaged in brain circuits linked to other glomeruli express different biophysical profiles, suggesting that intrinsic diversity among neurons of a given morphological class may reflect functional adaptations of local circuits to the subtly distinct information they process.
