Despite olfaction’s vital role, our understanding of its mechanisms is still limited. Complex biochemistry is at play in our olfactive response as soon as we develop in the womb. Odorants ...

The authors' demonstration that impaired olfactory perception reduces caterpillar performance and increases susceptibility to parasitism is solid. These findings highlight the ecological significance ...

“The study clearly establishes the relationship of food intake and olfactory processing and implicates the endocannabinoid system as a key player in this signaling pathway,” said Howard University ...

In addition, this study sheds important light on the mysterious mechanisms that support human odor perception,” Datta wrote ...
