Have you ever wondered how our brains recognize and process smells? Thanks to a new technique developed by researchers at the University of Chicago, we are now one step closer to understanding how olfaction works. The team has developed a method that allows them to take “molecular images” of olfactory receptors in the brain to see how they recognize and process individual odors. This breakthrough could pave the way for a better understanding of olfaction and could even lead to the development of treatments for olfactory disorders.
