Molecular messengers of olfaction
Article Abstract:
Advances in olfactory system research have contributed to the enhancement of existing knowledge regarding olfactory signal transmission. Several studies using molecular cloning has led to a development of a model of olfaction suggesting that cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channels ultimately determine olfactory neuronal depolarization. Odorants have been also shown to cause potent and rapid enhancement of adenylyl cyclase and phosphoinositide turnover.

Article Abstract:
Walter J. Freeman was the first to use systems analysis to the properties of neuronal circuits. However, this approach derives mathematical abstractions to relate events. Instead of this approach, more detailed experimental data on cellular electrophysiology and anatomy should be used to simulate neurons assembled into networks. Systems analysis is not recommended because it fails to address cellular mechanisms directly.
