(after 2 years I still remember, hey)! Our olfactory system and everything inside the body is so fascinating, that the receptors in smell sensory system can recognise each distinct smell which comes from same molecule with a slight difference in sinical/rectus difference. It is just magnificent. I feel so naive that I am not able to understand even a 1% of it through my visible consciousness :) | |

| Jul 3, 2015 at 4:07 | comment | added | cagliari2005 | @bonCodigo Glad you found my answer useful! Technically it is due to the aroma perception (taste perception is exclusive to the buccal cavity). Concerning your question yes upon activation (or more precisely depolarization) sensory neurons will release glutamate (a neurotransmitter) and start a neuronal signal which likely propagate in the nerve as any standard neuronal signals (i.e. via neurotransmitters release in synapses). I don't know enough about the subsequent events to give you a very detailed answer but I am sure you can find that quite easily if you look for olfaction signaling. | |

| Jul 3, 2015 at 2:48 | comment | added | bonCodigo | I just saw the answer and you just blew my mind with that awesome image and the well referred explanation. I had no idea it is infact related to taste perception. This is the part I was hunting for: How receptor activation leads to a neuronal stimuli. With the opening of Ca2+ from TRPA1, are there any specific neurotransmitters released by trigeminal nerve to send the signal? And now I have gotten a good direction to read further. | |
