Abstract

The sense of smell, mediated by specialized sensory neurons in the nasal cavity, plays a variety of critical roles in fundamental life events. Mammals have two distinct olfactory systems-the main, and the accessory olfactory system, the latter of which is used mainly to detect pheromones. Similar to the sense of taste, the sense of smell is a form of chemoreception. Chemicals capable of stimulating the olfactory system, usually in low concentrations measured at pico ~ nano molar scales, are referred to as odorants. Once odorants bind odorant receptors, olfactory signal transduction is initiated. Humans can differentiate more than 10 thousand odorants, implying that a biomimetic artificial nose could serve as a highly-effective chemical analyzer.
