New Sense Discovered?

The video explores recent discoveries in neuroscience, focusing on a new type of olfactory neuron called necklace neurons. These neurons, found in mice, use a different mechanism than previously known olfactory neurons, involving MS4PA proteins. This challenges the traditional understanding of olfactory signaling. The video discusses the potential implications of this discovery and the need for further research to understand its role in humans and other mammals. The host encourages viewers to engage with the content and support further research.
