In a social context, body odors act as effective psycho-biological signals modulating interpersonal interactions, but also as several physiological processes. This new book presents current research in the study of the biology, sources, olfaction and response to odors. Topics discussed include the biology of insect odors; the psychophysical, neurophysiological and neurobiological investigation of olfactory processes in humans; odors in the context of animal navigation and environmental odorants and irritants and their health consequences.
