The Neurobiology of Olfaction

Herausgeber: Menini, Anna

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Reflecting a growing interest in this area, The Neurobiology of Olfaction provides a comprehensive overview of the present status of knowledge and research on olfaction. With an interdisciplinary approach, it includes content from genetics to behavior and from nematodes to humans. It also contains chapters about the most recent discoveries on odor coding from the olfactory epithelium to cortical centers and about neurogenesis in the olfactory epithelium and in the olfactory bulb. Each subject specific chapters written by a top researcher in the area provides an extensive list of reviews and original articles for students and scientists interested in further readings.
