Hooker and Van de Bittner note, however, that the tool also has tremendous potential for research applications, particularly for drug discovery in smell - loss therapy and in understanding the relationships between olfactory neuron health and brain health more generally. (sciencedaily.com)
They saw that mice lacking this protein were protected from synapse loss via similar pruning mechanisms or other pathways that protect neuron health. (scientificamerican.com)
