A Simple Sniff (1 of 2) (VIDEO) Washington University in St. Louis This video is under embargo. Please login to access this video.

They were able to apply a nanoparticle aerosol spray to the antenna of locusts, then track the nanoparticles as they traveled through the olfactory nerves, crossed the blood-brain barrier and accumulated in the brain. This new, non-invasive approach could someday make drug delivery as simple as a sniff for patients with brain injuries or tumors.
