• Organization of the Olfactory and Respiratory Skeleton in the Nose of the Gray Short-Tailed Opossum Monodelphis domestica (2005, background): “There are an estimated 6–10 million neurons populating the olfactory membrane in the mouse (Firestein, 2001).”
• Applications and Advances in Electronic-Nose Technologies (2009, background): “By the identification of a large family of G-protein-coupled receptors and the invention of advanced molecular and physiological techniques, a detailed description of the mechanisms responsible for stimulus-induced signaling of the olfactory system are now known [35].”
• Statistical localization of human olfactory cortex (2013, background): “Their axons form the olfactory nerve, projecting to the tufted and mitral cells of the olfactory bulb (Firestein, 2001).”

• Homeostasis and toxicology of essential metals (2012, background): “Chemosensation via olfaction begins at the olfactory sensory neuron (OSN), where odor molecules bind to surface receptors and initiate a very wellcharacterized molecular signal transduction cascade that results in the propagation of an action potential (Firestein, 2001, Zielinski and Hara, 2007).”
• Encapsulation of Aroma (2010, background): “Aroma molecules are those that interact with the olfactory receptors in the nose cavity ( Firestein 2001 ).”
