The topic of human adult neural plasticity and neurogenesis is of great interest for medical and scientific community, but it is also largely debated. In the last years, an increasing interest has been paid to the olfactory system, and particularly to the plasticity of the olfactory bulb (OB). While the molecular/cellular mechanisms underlying OB plasticity remain a matter of debate, measurements of the OB using magnetic resonance imaging clearly indicate that it is a highly plastic structure. In this review, we present results regarding the plasticity of the human adult olfactory system.

发育和成年嗅觉途径中的神经可塑性-专注于人类嗅球。

成人的神经可塑性和神经发生这一话题引起医学界和科学界的极大兴趣，但也引起了广泛的争论。在过去的几年中，人们对嗅觉系统，尤其是嗅球（OB）的可塑性的关注日益增加。虽然OB可塑性的分子/细胞机制尚有争议，但使用磁共振成像对OB进行的测量清楚地表明它是一种高度可塑性的结构。在这篇评论中，我们提出有关人类成人嗅觉系统可塑性的结果。
