Identifying the Receptors Activated by Odors may Help in Understanding Their Workings

A team of physiologists, from the University of Kentucky, lead by Tim McClintock, have identified the receptors activated by two odors using a new method that tracks a live mice's responses to smell. Their research was published in the latest edition of emThe Journal of Neuroscience/em. Using a fluorescent protein to mark nerve cells activated by odors, McClintock and his coworkers identified the receptors that allow mouse nerve cells to respond ...
