The responses of mouse olfactory receptors to complex odors -For the Elucidation of Odor Interactions-

Most of the odors perceived by humans on a daily basis are complex odors. It is believed that the modulation, enhancement, and suppression of overall complex odors are caused by interactions among odor molecules. As a result, the odor interactions could be visualized by the mouse OR response patterns.

This research results were presented at the Japan Society for Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Agrochemistry 2019 Annual Meeting.
