olfaction

基本解釋

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.
這不僅是首次提出細菌能夠識別氣味，同時這項結果表明在進化史上最早期的一種嗅覺形式。
"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.
他補充說道：“發(fā)現(xiàn)人類新生嬰兒與母親之間的嗅覺交流方式，將會是嗅覺仍在人類社會環(huán)境中發(fā)揮作用的有力証明。”
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.
而且他的理論還聲稱爲人類所有的神秘特征提供了一種解釋：兩足動物，無毛發(fā)，脂肪層，喉結遺傳，嗅覺喪失等等。

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.

嗅覺
The olfaction sensitivity on allkinds of odors has brought scholars great interest.
嗅覺對於各類氣味的這種異乎尋常的敏感性引起了科研人員的極大興趣。
