Introduction to Olfaction: Physiology
Abstract
This chapter introduces the basic anatomy and physiology of the neural systems involved in the detection and identification of odors by vertebrate animals. It describes the cellular architecture and function of these systems, tracing the path of sensory signals from the initial steps of sniffing and chemical stimulus transduction in the nose, through to the synaptic processing pathways in the circuits of the olfactory bulb and major areas of olfactory cortex. Included are reviews of the latest research findings and hypotheses shaping our fundamental understanding of olfactory mechanisms, with particular emphasis on mammalian olfaction.
