Chemosensory signals and their receptors in the olfactory neural system

Highlights • Chemical signals convey information about the physiological status of the emitter. • Chemical cues elicit behavioral outputs via specific receptors and neural circuits. • Each organism has developed the chemosensory system that suits its life style.
