1. Nasal administration of compounds active in the central nervous system : Exploring the olfactory system
Abstract : The nasal administration of drugs offers advantages over administration by intravenous injection. Drugs can be rapidly absorbed through the nasal mucosa, resulting in a rapid onset of action, and also avoiding degradation in the gastrointestinal tract and first-pass metabolism in the liver.

2. Olfactory Transfer of Analgesic Drugs After Nasal Administration
Abstract : Nasal administration of analgesics for achieving rapid pain relief is currently a topic of great interest. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) restricts access to the central nervous system (CNS) for several central-acting drugs, such as morphine and dihydroergotamine, which results in a substantial effect delay.

3. Early Information Processing in the Vertebrate Olfactory System : A Computational Study
Abstract : The olfactory system is believed to be the oldest sensory system. It developed to detect and analyse chemical information in the form of odours, and its organisation follows the same principles in almost all living animals - insects as well as mammals. READ MORE

4. Computational Modelling of Early Olfactory Processing
Abstract : Chemical sensing is believed to be the oldest sensory ability. The chemical senses, olfaction and gustation, developed to detect and analyze information in the form of air- or waterborne chemicals, to find food and mates, and to avoid danger. READ MORE

5. Modeling prediction and pattern recognition in the early visual and olfactory systems
Abstract : Our senses are our mind's window to the outside world and determine how we perceive our environment.Sensory systems are complex multi-level systems that have to solve a multitude of tasks that allow us to understand our surroundings. READ MORE
