Humans as an Animal Model for Systems-Level Organization of Olfaction

摘要: The past 15 years have seen significant advances in the study of olfaction, with particular emphasis on elucidating molecular building blocks sensory process. However, much systems-level organization olfaction remains unexplored. Here, we provide an overview at this level, highlighting results obtained from studying humans, whom think underutilized, yet critical, animal model for olfaction.
