Odorant‐binding proteins (OBPs) of vertebrates belong to the lipocalin superfamily and
perform a dual function: solubilizing and ferrying volatile pheromones to the olfactory …

There is increasing evidence for specialised processing of social cues in the brain. This
review considers how the main olfactory system of mammals is designed to process social …

The mammalian odorant receptor (OR) repertoire is an attractive model to study evolution,
because ORs have been subjected to rapid evolution between species, presumably caused …

In the field of sensory perception, one noticeable fact regarding olfactory perception is the
