More than smell. COVID-19 is associated with severe impairment of smell, taste, and chemesthesis

Valentina Parma, +121 more
- 24 May 2020 - 
TL;DR: The results show that COVID-19-associated chemosensory impairment is not limited to smell, but also affects taste and chemesthesis, and suggest that SARS-CoV-2 infection may disrupt sensory-neural mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disruption of centrifugal inhibition to olfactory bulb granule cells impairs olfactory discrimination

TL;DR: Channelrhodopsin is used to stimulate GABAergic axons from the basal forebrain selectively and it is shown that this stimulation generates reliable inhibitory responses in GCs, indicating an important role of these inhibitory afferents in olfactory processing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of adult neurogenesis by behavior and age in the accessory olfactory bulb.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the physiological regulation of adult neurogenesis in the AOB by behaviors is both sex and age dependent and suggests an important role of newly born neurons in sex dependent behaviors mediated by the VNS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression and Distribution of Facilitative Glucose (GLUTs) and Monocarboxylate/H+ (MCTs) Transporters in Rat Olfactory Epithelia

TL;DR: The authors' observations suggest an energetic coupling between SCs and Bowman's gland cells, where glucose crossing the blood-mucosa barrier through GLUT1 is incorporated by these epithelial cells.
