Nobel Prize - winning work back in 1991 showed that, in mammals, each sensory neuron in the main olfactory system expresses one type of G - protein coupled receptor (GPCR), which is specialized to detect a specific type of odor.

The work contributes to a growing appreciation of the molecular diversity of olfactory and pheromone receptors, says Catherine Dulac, a neuroscientist at Harvard University.

The «magical world» created by his father became for Dr. Lomvardas the entry point into the real world of science, where he would one day work with Nobel laureates Eric Kandel and Richard Axel and conduct research into the molecular mechanisms of olfactory receptors — «one of the most enigmatic and complex problems in biology.»

Toward the end of his postdoc, as a Helen Hay Whitney Foundation fellow, Dr. Lomvardas started working on DNA methylation and other epigenetic modifications of olfactory receptors.

With close to 300 million olfactory receptors at the end of your pup's snout, he can smell up to 100,000 times more than you, so the Wooly puts your furkid's nose and brain to work by mimicking a hunt for food in grass or fields.

While it is true that equipped with more than 220 million olfactory receptors a dog's nose would be the best equipped to lead the hunt, truth is, tracking smells is also the most tiring and exhausting way to hunt (ever seen how tired a dog is after practicing nose work?).
