Chemotaxis and Direction of Cell Migration01:21

Chemotaxis and Direction of Cell Migration

3.5K
Cells can detect chemical cues in their environment and reorganize the cytoskeleton to migrate toward them or away from them. This directional migration, called chemotaxis, is essential during embryogenesis and development, immune response, tissue repair and regeneration, and reproduction. These chemical cues can either attract or repel the cell's movement. For example, axon development is determined by a combination of chemoattractants and chemorepellents that direct the growing axon...

Olfaction01:25

Olfaction

45.1K
The sense of smell is achieved through the activities of the olfactory system. It starts when an airborne odorant enters the nasal cavity and reaches olfactory epithelium (OE). The OE is protected by a thin layer of mucus, which also serves the purpose of dissolving more complex compounds into simpler chemical odorants. The size of the OE and the density of sensory neurons varies among species; in humans, the OE is only about 9-10 cm2.
The olfactory receptors are embedded in the cilia of the...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Sensory Systems
  • Chemosensation

Background:

  • Ecological chemosensory stimuli engage multiple sensory systems and involve hierarchical brain processing.
  • Chemosensory neuroimaging has historically focused on isolated brain regions, overlooking network interactions.
  • Connectivity methods, successful in other sensory modalities, are underutilized in chemical senses research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current state of chemosensory connectomics.
  • To identify challenges specific to neuroimaging studies of chemical senses.
  • To recommend best practices for advancing the field of chemosensory connectomics.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent work in chemosensory connectomics.
  • Summary of various connectomics techniques.
  • Analysis of challenges in chemosensory connectome neuroimaging.
  • Review of best practices from general connectomics and neuroimaging.

Main Results:

  • Established connectivity techniques have not been rigorously applied to chemosensory neuroimaging.
  • Network insights in chemical senses processing remain largely overlooked.
  • Specific challenges hinder rigorous application of connectomics in chemosensory research.

Conclusions:

  • Optimized study designs are crucial for improving chemosensory connectomics.
  • Standardized reporting guidelines, brain parcellations, and consortium research are recommended.
  • Data sharing initiatives are essential for advancing network insights in chemical senses.
