Abstract

Olfaction (sense of smell), from evolutionary perspective is one of the most ancient chemical senses by Auffarth (Neurosci Biobehav Rev 37(8):1667–1679, 2013, [1]), however, they remain in many ways the least understood of the sensory modalities. This chapter presents the general review of this very important chemical sense.
