human olfactory receptor
1Olfactory receptor — Olfactory receptors expressed in the cell membranes of olfactory receptor neurons are responsible for the detection of odor molecules. Activated olfactory receptors are the initial player in a signal transduction cascade which ultimately produces …
2olfactory receptor — ▪ anatomy also called smell receptor protein capable of binding odour molecules that plays a central role in the sense of smell (olfaction). These receptors (receptor) are common to arthropods (arthropod), terrestrial vertebrates… …
3Olfactory memory — refers to the recollection of odours. Studies have found various characteristics of common memories of odour memory including persistence and high resistance to interference. Explicit memory is typically the form focused on in the studies of… …
4Olfactory system — The olfactory system is the sensory system used for olfaction, or the sense of smell. Most mammals and reptiles have two distinct parts to their olfactory system: a main olfactory system and an accessory olfactory system. The main olfactory… …
