Not only is this the first evidence for a sense of smell in bacteria , the results also might represent one of the earliest forms of olfaction in evolutionary history .
这不仅是首次提出细菌能够识别气味,同时这项结果表明在进化史上最早期的一种嗅觉形式。
Because several genes contribute to the detection of most odors , understanding the genetics of olfaction and the way mutations spread in a population is yielding insights into the mechanisms of poly genic diseases such as coronary heart disease and diabetes .
But his theory claims to offer one explanation for a whole range of enigmatic human features : bipedality , hairlesslessness , fat layer , descended larynx , loss of olfaction , and so on .
Studies of the brains of mice show that regions involved in olfaction also react to sound .
对老鼠大脑的研究显示,它们涉及嗅觉的区域,对声音也会作出反应。
The team happened upon the link between sex and olfaction while investigating the sense of smell in fruit flies .
研究组的方向在于性和嗅觉的联系上,他们发现了水果气味在其中起到的作用。
Only in olfaction is this sensory pattern represented in the frontal cortex which is the most developed part of the human brain .
只有在嗅觉中,感觉模式在大脑中最发达的额皮质中呈现。
It infuriates me and I think it undermines exactly what you lay out in your book : that the human propensity for taste and olfaction is actually much more sophisticated than we might assume .
