亦称臭觉感受器。它是感受被嗅物的化学刺激再将之转换成嗅神经冲动信息的细胞。
在哺乳动物身上，位于鼻部的神经细胞运用特殊的气味感受器探测气味，并将信息传输给嗅球——嗅觉的整合中枢。
In mammals, neurons located in the nose detect scents using special odor receptors, and shuttle the information to the olfactory bulb, which is the integration center for smell.
尤其具有挑战性的是头部损伤，无论轻微还是严重，能够扰乱位于大脑外面的身体嗅觉感受器—嗅球神经细胞功能。
Especially challenging are those that result from head injuries, whether minor or severe, that disrupt the function of the body's smell receptors - olfactory nerve cells that lie outside the brain.
本文从嗅觉感受器、嗅球、嗅球以上脑区三个水平综述了这两种嗅觉系统对化学信息识别的编码模式。
In this review, we unraveled coding patterns of two olfactory systems for information recognition at three levels: olfactory receptor, olfactory bulb and higher brain region beyond the olfactory bulb.
