The Neurobiology of Olfaction

A comprehensive overview of the current status of knowledge and research on olfaction, this volume takes an interdisciplinary approach to include content from genetics to behavior and from nematodes to humans. It offers chapters on recent discoveries in odor coding from the olfactory epithelium to the cortical centers, and in neurogenesis in the olfactory epithelium and the olfactory bulb. Written by a top researcher in the field, each subject-specific chapter provides an extensive list of reviews and original articles for students and scientists interested in further reading.

Zusammenfassung
Comprehensive Overview of Advances in OlfactionThe common belief is that human smell perception is much reduced compared with other mammals, so that whatever abilities are uncovered and investigated in animal research would have little significance for humans. However, new evidence from a variety of sources indicates this traditional view is likely
