L’odorat est notre sens le plus énigmatique. Que se passe-t-il dans notre cerveau lorsque nous sentons quelque chose ? En quoi les processus olfactifs humains diffèrent-ils de ceux des mammifères, des oiseaux et des insectes ? Pourquoi les odeurs se révèlent-elles plus efficaces que les images pour éveiller des souvenirs ? Malgré son importance fondamentale dans l’existence des animaux et des humains, notre compréhension scientifique de la façon dont fonctionne l’odorat reste encore aujourd’hui limitée. Ce livre décrit les toutes dernières recherches scientifiques sur le sujet et explore sa place dans la culture et l’histoire. Il examine également les troubles de l’odorat, et imagine le rôle des odeurs dans un monde robotisé.

Matthew Cobb explores the sense of smell - its complex evolutionary history, and its many functions in a wide variety of animals, including humans. He describes the latest scientific research into this remarkable faculty, involving the brain as much as the nose, and reveals surprising insights into animal and human life. (-) Summarises the latest neurobiological research on smell, in humans and other mammals, as well as in insects and fish; (-) Discusses how our genes determine what we can and cannot smell, and why some people like a given smell and others do not ; (-) Explores how animals use smell to navigate and communicate ; (-) Considers the future of smell in a world of robots and climate change ; (-) Part of the Very Short Introductions series - over ten million copies sold worldwide.

Comprehensive Overview of Advances in OlfactionThe common belief is that human smell perception is much reduced compared with other mammals, so that whatever abilities are uncovered and investigated in animal research would have little significance for humans. However, new evidence from a variety of sources indicates this traditional view is likely overly simplistic. The Neurobiology of Olfaction provides a thorough analysis of the state-of-the-science in olfactory knowledge and research, reflecting the growing interest in the field. Au
