Description
Presenting an introduction to research in the chemistry of senses with an emphasis on taste and smell, this book provides the starting place from which students as well as established neurobiologists can delve more deeply into a particular specialty. Topics covered include transduction at the periphery, transmission to the brain, sensation representation within the brain, and the normal development of sensory systems. It explains current challenges as well as future directions in each area of research covering results and interpretation of research while avoiding technical details.
