Chemical Senses
Overview
Chemical Senses is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that focuses on the study of taste, smell, and chemesthesis. It publishes cutting-edge research articles, reviews, and commentaries, covering various aspects of chemosensory perception, including molecular biology, neurophysiology, psychophysics, and clinical applications. This journal serves as a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, and anyone interested in understanding the fascinating world of chemical senses.
