The fourth edition of this highly successful text has been extensively revised and restructured to take account of the many recent advances in the subject and bring it right up to date. The classic observations of recent years can now be interpreted with the powerful new techniques of molecular biology. Consequently there is much new material throughout the book, including many new illustrations and extensive references to recent work. Its essential philosophy remains the same, though: fundamental concepts are clearly explained, and key experiments are examined in some detail. This textbook will be used by students of physiology, neuroscience, cell biology and biophysics. Specializing undergraduates and graduates as well as lecturers and researchers will find the text thorough and clearly written.

In recent years a significant body of research literature has accumulated on olfaction along several levels of investigation detailed in this Research Topic, ranging from molecular processes to the neural and cognitive processing of olfactory information, as well as to the influence of odors on our everyday lives. A useful resource for colleagues scholars and professionals dealing with the study of chemical senses this work focuses on the applied aspects of olfaction including: Olfaction in everyday life (e.g., olfactory driven attitudes, behaviors and emotions; cognitions and behavior around human body odors; olfaction and consumer behavior; olfactory cognition and emotion in pregnancy; odors in the emergence and maintenance of disgust; air pollution studies; detecting malingering by means of odors; electronic noses and food analyses), Olfactory expertise (e.g., wine expertise in sommeliers and oenologists; odors and flavors in culinary environment; olfactory cognition in food science and in hedonics; skills of perfumers’ noses) and Olfaction in health and disease (e.g., olfaction in multiple chemical sensitivity; olfaction in post traumatic stress disorders; olfaction and sick building syndrome; olfaction and the motion sickness paradigm; olfactory loss and coping strategies; odors and pain relief; odors in the management of coma, neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases).

Electroreception has become one of the most revealing areas in the study of the neural basis of behavior, and neurobiologists recognize it as a model sensory system for experimental study. Through studies of electroreception, researchers have gained extensive knowledge about a complete sensory system, from molecular biology to computation, communication and behavior. The book Electroreception will examine the behavior, structure and function of the electrosensory systems of fish and other vertebrates. As a comprehensive volume on the subject, the book will serve as both an introduction to the study of electroreception and a reference and review volume for researchers in related fields. About the Editors: Theodore H. Bullock is Professor of Neurosciences at the Scripps Research Institute, University of California, San Diego.

Pain is an unpleasant but very important biological signal for danger. Nociception is necessary for survival and maintaining the integrity of the organism in a potentially hostile environment. Pain is both a sensory experience and a perceptual metaphor for damage and it is activated by noxious stimuli that act on a complex pain sensory apparatus. However, chronic pain having no more a protective role can become a ruining disease itself, termed "neuropathic pain".
