How We Smell: The Molecular and Cellular Bases of Olfaction

Abstract:
Three models for the perception of odor molecules are suggested for the first time by experimental data. These studies illustrate how the nose may smell. Moreover, they suggest additional role(s) for odor receptors within and outside the olfactory system.
