BIOSENSORS & BIOELECTRONICS 25(10), 2010
Human beings and animals have sensitive olfactory systems that can sense and identify a variety of odors. The purpose of this study is to combine biological cells with micro-chips to establish a novel bioelectronic nose system for odor detection by electrophysiological sensing measurements. Electrophysiological activities of olfactory receptor neurons in intact epithelium were measured through the multi-channel recording system. The investigation of olfactory epithelium can provide more information of olfactory system for artificial olfaction biomimetic design.
