DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.ade1249
Abstract: Many animals perceive odorant molecules by collecting information from ensembles of olfactory neurons. These neurons employ receptors that are tuned to recognize odorant molecules by chemical binding affinity. Olfactory systems are able, in principle, to… read more here.
