KlappentextThis book summarizes recent advances in understanding of the mammalian and fish olfactory system and provides perspective on the translation of external odor information into appropriate motivational and behavioral responses.

ZusammenfassungThis book surveys progress in understanding the mammalian and fish olfactory system, covering neurobiological mechanisms involved in the function of the associated neuronal circuits. Explores the logic that translates odor information into behavioral response.

Kritik

From the reviews:
"This is an excellent up-to-date reference and text about the cortical connectivity and physiology of the olfactory system in experimental animals. The piriform, and olfactory cortices with limbic and midbrain connections are beautifully illustrated with color line drawings and explanatory discussions. ... I recommend this book to any research interested in olfactory neurophysiology." (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, June, 2014)mehr
