Abstract

The sense of smell is critical for most mammals in terms of identification and evaluation of food, mate, and territories, and in general for the maintenance of a good quality of life. The olfactory sensory system is able to detect and discriminate an enormous variety of volatile molecules with great sensitivity and specificity. Tens of thousands of chemicals can be detected, many at concentrations as low as a few parts per trillion [1, 2]. This feat is accomplished through anatomical, cellular, and molecular features that are designed to amplify, encode, and integrate a vast array of incoming olfactory information.
