Olfaction: from odorant molecules to the olfactory cortex

Anna Menini et al. News Physiol Sci. 2004 Jun.

Abstract

How do we smell? Our knowledge of how odor information from the environment is perceived has greatly advanced since the discovery of approximately 1,000 genes for odorant receptors in the mammalian genome. From the combination of molecular-genetic, electrophysiological, and optical imaging studies a better understanding of how we smell is emerging.
