Combinatorial Receptor Codes for Odors
TL;DR: Using a combination of calcium imaging and single-cell RT-PCR to identify odorant receptors (ORs) for odorants with related structures but varied odors, it is found that one OR recognizes multiple odorants and that one odorant is recognized by multiple ORs, but that different odorants are recognized by different combinations of ORs.
Journal ArticleDOI
The human olfactory receptor gene family
TL;DR: Type of odorant structures that may be recognized by some subfam families were predicted by identifying subfamilies that contain ORs with known odor ligands or human homologs of such ORs, and most subfam Families are encoded by a single chromosomal locus.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mouse olfactory receptor gene family
TL;DR: This analysis of the mouse OR gene family suggests that humans and mice recognize many of the same odorant structural motifs, but mice may be superior in odor sensitivity and discrimination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuropharmacology. Odorants may arouse instinctive behaviours.
TL;DR: It is shown that vomeronasal neurons can actually detect both odorants and pheromones, which suggests that in mammals, as in insects, odorous compounds released from plants or other animal species may act as 'semiochemicals' — signalling molecules that elicit stereotyped behaviours that are advantageous to the emitter or to the receiver.

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.
