Olfaction
A large-scale analysis of ORNs vs. odorants1. Spatial representation of odors in insect brain2.
Olfactory perception -> olfactory neural map3?
Odor threshold refers the minimum concentration that human beings can detect the odor. There is also a computational method to estimate the threshold value from chemical structure4.
