The olfactory system is remarkable in its capacity to discriminate a wide range of odorants
through a series of transduction events initiated in olfactory receptor neurons. Each olfactory …

The vertebrate olfactory system discriminates a wide variety of odorants by relaying coded
information from olfactory sensory neurons in the olfactory epithelium to olfactory cortical …

Candidate mammalian odorant receptors were first cloned some 6 years ago. The
physiological function of these receptors in initiating transduction in olfactory receptor …

The mammalian olfactory system can recognize and discriminate a large number of different
odorant molecules. The detection of chemically distinct odorants presumably results from the …

The vertebrate olfactory system possesses a remarkable capacity to recognize and
discriminate a variety of odorants by sending the coding information from peripheral …

The application of molecular genetic techniques has led to the identification of olfactory-
specific proteins that represent each component in a second messenger cascade. Our …

Evidence has accumulated to support a model for odorant detection in which individual
olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) express one of a large family of G protein‐coupled …

The signal elicited by the interaction of odorous ligands with receptors on olfactory sensory
neurons must be decoded by the brain to determine which of the numerous receptors have …

Mammalian odorant receptors form a large, diverse group of G protein–coupled receptors
that determine the sensitivity and response profile of olfactory receptor neurons. But little is …

The site for interactions between the nervous system and much of the chemical world is in
the olfactory sensory neuron (OSN). Odorant receptor proteins (ORPs) are postulated to …
