Research on Odor

Research on odor explores how smells are detected and processed by our sense of smell, involving the nose and brain. Scientists study the chemical compounds that create different odors and how our sensory receptors recognize them. This research helps in understanding how odors influence behavior, emotions, and health, and aids in developing artificial scents, odor detection devices, and treatments for smell disorders. By examining how smells work at a molecular level, researchers aim to improve applications in medicine, fragrance creation, and environmental monitoring.
