Quantum theory of smell

Abstract
Smell is one of the most important and most primary sensory organs in humans and other mammals. Even in ancient times, the sense of smell was dealt with by philosophers. In recent years, several new theories of olfaction have been developed. American scientists won a Nobel Prize in 2004 for developing the coding of olfactory receptors and analyzing the signal pathway to the brain. The new quantum theory of smell is highly distinct from previous theories. It seeks to explain in detail the reception and transmission of the quantized energy of odor particles to the brain. It takes into account all stages of the journey and the mechanisms of this transmission. It describes the transmission of odorant energy to the acceptor and receptor, and further
through the G protein to intracellular energy metabolism. The theory draws our attention to the mechanism of receptor potential and action potential formation. It emphasizes the significance of intracellular regulatory mechanisms related to cell life and the simultaneous transmission of odorant energy to the brain. It describes the role of calcium in the cell, signal amplification and the encoding of olfactory information.
