Short Review of Current Research on the Physiology and Pathology of Olfactory Detection
نویسنده
چکیده
Most concepts related to physiology and pathology of olfaction has been related to abnormalities in neural function related to changes in central nervous system disorders or in disorders of olfactory nerves. While these events have been useful in understanding olfactory physiology and pathology most pathology of olfactory detection lies in problems related to olfactory receptor function not to the neural correlates per se. This brief review introduces pertinent information which relates to the role that olfactory receptors, their physiology and their pathology play in olfactory function.

The sense of olfaction reached its zenith in development much earlier than other special senses. Olfaction is much more acute than the other senses, exhibits both high sensitivity for odours and high discrimination between them. This plays a very important role even in the social and behavioral aspects of human beings. Recent studies using molecular genetics, electrophysiology and behavioral an...
