Olfactory transduction is a series of events in which odor molecules are detected by olfactory receptors and chemical signals are transformed into electrical signal to the brain where they are perceived as smells. ref name Ma M. Ma 2007 Encoding olfactory signals via multiple chemosensory systems. Crit. Rev. Biochem. Mol. Bio. 42 6 463 480. PMID 18066954 ref Once ligands odorant particles bind to specific receptors on the external surface of cilia, olfactory transduction is initiated. In mammals, olfactory receptors have been shown to signal via G protein. This is a similar type of signaling of other known G protein coupled receptors GPCR . The binding of an odorant particle on an olfactoryreceptor activates a particular G protein G olf , which then activates adenylate cyclase , leading to cAMP production. cAMP then binds and opens Cyclic nucleotide gated ion channel . This opening allows for an influx of both Na sup sup and Ca sup 2 sup ions into the cell, thus depolarizing it. The Ca sup 2 sup in turn activates chloride channels, causing efflux of Cl sup sup , which results in a further depolarization of the cell. ref name Kato & Touhara A.Kato & K.

Olfactory fatigue or adaptation is the temporary, normal inability to distinguish a particular odor after a prolonged exposure to that airborne compound ref Odors chapter, Fundamentals volume of the ASHRAE Handbook , ASHRAE, Inc., Atlanta, GA, 2005 ref . For example, when entering a restaurant initially the odor of food is often perceived as being very strong, but after time the awareness of the odor normally fades to the point where the smell is not perceptible or is much weaker. After leaving the area of high odor, the sensitivity is restored with time. Anosmia is the permanent loss of the sense of smell, and is different from olfactory fatigue. It is a commonly used term in wine tasting , where one loses the ability to smell and distinguish wine bouquet after sniffing at wine s continuously for an extended period of time. The term is also used in the study of indoor air quality , for example, in the perception of odors from people, tobacco , and cleaning agents. Olfactory fatigue is an example of neural adaptation or sensory adaptation . Our bodies become desensitised to stimuli in order to prevent the overloading of our nervous system, thus allowing it to respond to new stimuli that are out of the ordinary .

Multiple issues orphan August 2010 context July 2010 context August 2010 confusing November 2010 Olfactory ensheathing glia OG is a type of radial glia found in the olfactory mucosa and olfactory bulb . They are also known as olfactory Schwann cell s because of their properties in assisting axonal regeneration . Olfactory glia are capable of Phagocytosis phagocytosing axonal debris in vivo wewetzer et al., 2005 . In vitro, they phagocytose bacteria olfactory glia express Lyz protein s are thought to play an important role in immunoprotection in the mucosa Vincent et al., 2005 , where neuron s are directly exposed to external environment. These glia express Glial marker s such as glial fibrillary acidic protein , s100, and p75, and radial glial markers such as nestin and vimentin . OG have been tested successfully in experimental axon regeneration in rat spinal cord injury models li et al., 2003 and are currently in the clinical trial phase. neuroscience stub Category Nervous system ... more details
