Information about Odotope Theory
Odotope Theory, also known as Weak-Shape Theory, is a leading neurophysiological theory of how the sense of smell functions. The model is analogous to a molecular Braille: it is propsed that any number of the 347 different protein-based smell receptors in the nose binds to only certain parts of a smellable molecule, and thus a few hundreds of different receptors can, through combinatorial explosion, theoretically recognize an infinite number of distinct smells.
Odotope theory sidesteps the issue of how a limited number of shape detectors could identify more than 10,000 smells (and counting) in the human alone.

Olfaction (also known as olfactics) refers to the sense of smell. This sense is mediated by specialized sensory cells of the nasal cavity of vertbrates, and, by analogy, sensory cells of the antennae of invertebrates.

In mathematics a combinatorial explosion describes the effect of functions that grow very rapidly as a result of combinatorial considerations.
Examples of such functions include the factorial function and related functions.
