Abstract

Many aspects of animal and human behavior are guided by, or dependent on, the sense of smell-olfaction. This chapter summarizes the major facts of the anatomy, neurochemistry, molecular biology and physiology of the olfactory system. We emphasize the mammalian olfactory system, particularly rodents, because of their widespread use as a laboratory model and the rich database related to this species. © 2007 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
