Abstract:
Olfaction plays an important role to detect environmental risk, taste the food, and performs various additional roles crucial to the nutrition, mood and memory. But it has been overlooked compared with other sensory organs, such as vision or hearing function. Recently, a variety of studies associated with olfactory system are in progress from periphery to central area. This review shows the brief summary of the recent ongoing study on olfaction.
