Description for The Olfactory System: From Odor Molecules to Motivational Behaviors Hardcover. This book surveys progress in understanding the mammalian and fish olfactory system, covering neurobiological mechanisms involved in the function of the associated neuronal circuits. Explores the logic that translates odor information into behavioral response. Editor(s): Mori, Kensaku. Num Pages: 206 pages, 23 black & white illustrations, 46 colour illustrations, 2 black & white tables, biograph. BIC Classification: JMM; MJN; PSVD; PSVP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 244 x 165 x 14. Weight in Grams: 444.

This book summarizes recent advances in understanding of the mammalian and fish olfactory system and provides perspective on the translation of external odor information into appropriate motivational and behavioral responses. Following the discovery of the odorant receptor gene family in 1991, understanding of the basic biological mechanisms of the olfactory system has advanced enormously. Despite such rapid progress, however, it remains unclear how odor information is processed at levels beyond the olfactory bulb, including the olfactory cortex, olfactory tubercle, and orbitofrontal cortex. This book thus describes the most recent developments in olfactory research, with particular focus on the basic neurobiological ... Read more

Reviews for The Olfactory System: From Odor Molecules to Motivational Behaviors
From the reviews: “This is an excellent up-to-date reference and text about the cortical connectivity and physiology of the olfactory system in experimental animals. The piriform, and olfactory cortices with limbic and midbrain connections are beautifully illustrated with color line drawings and explanatory discussions. … I recommend this book to any research interested in olfactory neurophysiology.” (Joseph J. Grenier, ... Read more
