  • Olfaction In Rodents and Mammals

    Updated: 2010-08-31 10:07:42
    The olfactory system is the sensory system used for olfaction, or the sense of smell. Most mammals and reptiles have two distinct parts to their olfactory system: a main olfactory system and an accessory olfactory system. The main olfactory system detects volatile, airborne substances, while the accessory olfactory system senses fluid-phase stimuli. Behavioral evidence indicates that most often, the stimuli detected by the accessory olfactory system are pheromones. The olfactory system...

Type-I diabetes was induced ...

  • New superbug spreading from India?

    Updated: 2010-08-12 09:12:17
    People who embark on "health tourism" trips to India and Pakistan to get inexpensive medical treatment risk picking up and spreading a new superbug, according to an international team of scientists. The researchers found a new gene called New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase, or NDM-1, in patients in Asia and in Britain. NDM-1 makes bacteria highly resistant to almost all antibiotics, including the most powerful class called carbapenems. With internationa...
