Recent anecdotal and scientific reports have provided evidence of a link between COVID-19
and chemosensory impairments, such as anosmia. However, these reports have …

The mammalian olfactory system senses an almost unlimited number of chemical stimuli
and initiates a process of neural recognition that influences nearly every aspect of life. This …

Animals utilize hundreds of distinct G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR)-type chemosensory
receptors to detect a diverse array of chemical signals in their environment, including odors, …

TAS1R- and TAS2R-type taste receptors are expressed in the gustatory system, where they
detect sweet- and bitter-tasting stimuli, respectively. These receptors are also expressed in …

In a preregistered, cross-sectional study, we investigated whether olfactory loss is a reliable
predictor of COVID-19 using a crowdsourced questionnaire in 23 languages to assess …

The mammalian main olfactory epithelium (MOE) recognizes and transduces olfactory cues
through a G protein-coupled, cAMP-dependent signaling cascade. Additional chemosensory …

Sensing the chemical environment is critical for all organisms. Diverse animals from insects
to mammals utilize highly organized olfactory system to detect, encode, and process …

Olfactory signals influence social interactions in a variety of species. In mammals, pheromones
and other social cues can promote mating or aggression behaviors; can communicate …

Heteromultimeric cyclic nucleotide–gated (CNG) channels play a central role in the transduction
of odorant signals and subsequent adaptation. The contributions of individual subunits …
