Smell and taste are our most misunderstood senses. Given a choice
between losing our sense of smell and taste, or our senses of sight
and hearing, most people nominate the former, rather than the
latter. Yet our sense of smell and taste has the power to stir up
memories, alter our mood and even influence our behaviour. In The
Neuropsychology of Smell and Taste, Neil Martin provides a
comprehensive, critical analysis of the role of the brain in
gustation and olfaction. In his accessible and characteristic style
he shows why our sense of smell and taste do not simply perform
basic and intermittent functions, but lie at the very centre of our
perception of the world around us. Through an exploration of the
physiology, anatomy and neuropsychology of the senses; the
neurophysiological causes of smell and taste disorders, and their
function in physical and mental illness, Neil Martin provides an
accessible and up-to-date overview of the processes of gustation
and olfaction. The Neuropsychology of Smell and Taste provides a
state-of-the-art overview of current research in olfactory and
gustatory perception. With sections describing the effect of odour
and taste on our behaviour, and evaluating the contribution current
neuroimaging technology has made to our understanding of the
senses, the book will be of interest to researchers and students of
neuropsychology and neuroscience, and anybody with an interest in
olfaction and gustation.
