olfaction

基本解释

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。
"Finding olfactory ways of communication between human newborns and mothers would be a strong demonstration that olfaction is still functional in the human social context, " he adds.
他补充说道：“发现人类新生婴儿与母亲之间的嗅觉交流方式，将会是嗅觉仍在人类社会环境中发挥作用的有力证明。”
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.
而且他的理论还声称为人类所有的神秘特征提供了一种解释：两足动物，无毛发，脂肪层，喉结遗传，嗅觉丧失等等。

According to two studies presented to the International Symposium on Olfaction and Taste, held in San Francisco this week, that is exactly what happens.

"Olfaction and taste are really the new frontier in neurobiology, " says Stryer, quickly adding that his love of good food and wine is a strong motivator in his quest.
FORBES: Breaking a Sweat
Three years ago Lubert Stryer, a professor of neurobiology at Stanford University, became intrigued with olfaction, thanks in part to two fellow scientists who uncovered a family of genes whose receptors for smell and taste are turned on at the base of the nose.

嗅觉
The olfaction sensitivity on allkinds of odors has brought scholars great interest.
嗅觉对于各类气味的这种异乎寻常的敏感性引起了科研人员的极大兴趣。
