Olfactory

Some interesting things about our sense of smell: According to wikipedia, it is our accessory olfactory system (as opposed to the main olfactory system) that smells the fluid-phase chemicals. ❋ Unknown (2009)

In the first study to examine living nerve cells from patients with psychiatric disease, scientists from the Monell Chemical Senses Center, the University of Pennsylvania, and collaborating institutions report altered nerve cell function in olfactory receptor neurons from patients with bipolar disorder. ❋ Unknown (2005)

Similar to a visuospatial sketchpad where the brain briefly stores images, this function can be likened to an olfactory flacon (the French word for flask, often used to describe a vessel for perfume), where the brain briefly stores odors. ❋ Christina Zelano Et Al. (2009)

a gene encoding a transneuronal tracer in olfactory sensory neurons. ❋ Unknown (2005)

Probably carcinogenic, but the olfactory was the sense most closely linked to memory, so it was worth it for the nostalgia hit. ❋ Shelagh Power-Chopra (2010)

In the mammalian nose, smelling takes place in tissue called the olfactory epithelium. ❋ Edward Willett (2006)

It does seem to have, it's so rare, that it's hard to say that there's a characteristic pattern, where, you know, some people may actually sort of get it into their nose and subsequently sort of travels along a nerve called the olfactory nerve, all the way back into their brain. ❋ Unknown (2007)

For a long time, it has been known that the olfactory receptor cells are located far up in the nose, and that they send their thin neural processes through small canals in the bone directly to the part of the brain called the olfactory bulb. ❋ Unknown (2004)

These cells, called olfactory receptor neurons, are located just inside the nose, and are similar in many ways to cells within the brain, but are easier and safer to get to. ❋ Unknown (2005)

Probably car cinogenic, but the olfactory was the sense most closely linked to memory, so it was worth it for the nostalgia hit. ❋ Brookmyre, Christopher, 1968- (2000)

The olfactary nerves are developed from the cells of the ectoderm which lines the olfactory pits; these cells undergo proliferation and give rise to what are termed the olfactory cells of the nose. ❋ Unknown (1918)

High inside your nose is a grouping of cells called olfactory sensory neurons. ❋ Unknown (2011)

There are holes in the cribriform plates called olfactory foramina which allow the axons of the olfactory neurons to reach the olfactory bulb. ❋ MindyMo (2010)

They are located in what is called the olfactory epithelium, located in the superior part of the nasal cavity. ❋ MindyMo (2010)

A unique cell type that supports and surrounds (ensheathes) neurons within the nose (olfactory system) known as olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs), possess the ability to regenerate, are relatively easy to obtain, and have become prime candidates for transplantation to repair a number of lesions in the central nervous system (CNS). ❋ Unknown (2010)

(PhysOrg. com) -- A rare psychiatric disorder called olfactory reference syndrome makes its victims think they smell bad when they don't, and while this delusion may on the surface seem less serious than thinking you don't smell bad when you do, it can have consequences serious enough that psychiatrists are considering listing it as a separate disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental ❋ Unknown (2010)

Do you like my perfume? Yes it's [intoxicating], and by intoxicating I mean, I feel like I'm two drinks in and am being [waterboarded] with gasoline. Please end this olfactory assault. [I surrender] and will tell you anything you need to know. And I'll use my underwear as the white flag. ❋ P@$$ing Thr.ugh (2010)

I swear i got an olfactory high. Went for a shit first thing, [mumbled] some mathematical [formula] that could potentially save the planet, invented a dance that can end racism for good and then headed [straight home]. ❋ Krkič (2019)

Sadly, during his early childhood while visiting his dad in prison, Jared was dropped [squarely] on his head and ever since this unfortunate event he’s been having these [disruptive] encopretic olfactory hallucinations which has caused him to wear the now familiar “[Kushner shit smelling face].” ❋ Dr Bunnygirl (2020)

I was on an escalator and was [downwind] of someone [letting one rip].. it was the worst [FPOS] ever... I couldn't escape it. ❋ Yokes (2005)
