The nose has a dual function, both olfactory and tactile perception.

Learning to smell: olfactory perception from neurobiology to behavior.

Minimal olfactory perception during sleep: Why odor alarms will not work for humans.

Atypical sniffing has been reported in cases of neurological disorders, especially those disorders characterized by impaired motor function and olfactory perception.

Our olfactory perceptions are increasingly being recognised by scientists as the foundation for many of our decisions and actions, from consumer loyalty to weight loss and age perception.

In this article, we'll explore how humans perceive smell, how it triggers memory and the interesting (and sometimes unusual) ways to manipulate odor and olfactory perception.

Olfaction or olfactory perception is the sense of smell.

There is no theory yet that explains olfactory perception completely.

However, it has been argued that humans may have larger brain areas associated with olfactory perception compared to other species.

The impact of genetic polymorphism of ORs on differential olfactory perception in the human population is another exciting topic.
