What Does the Human Olfactory System Do, and How Does It Do It?
Annual Review of Psychology 2023 October 4
Historically, the human sense of smell has been regarded as the odd stepchild of the senses, especially compared to the sensory bravado of seeing, touching, and hearing. The idea that the human olfaction has little to contribute to our experience of the world is commonplace, though with the emergence of COVID-19 there has rather been a sea change in this understanding. An ever increasing body of work has convincingly highlighted the keen capabilities of the human nose and the sophistication of the human olfactory system. Here, we provide a concise overview of the neuroscience of human olfaction spanning the last 10-12 years, with focus on the peripheral and central mechanisms that underlie how odor information is processed, packaged, parceled, predicted, and perturbed to serve odor-guided behaviors. We conclude by offering some guideposts for harnessing the next 10-12 years of olfactory research in all its shapes and forms. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Psychology , Volume 75 is January 2024. Please see https://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.
