Chemical Senses publishes original research on all aspects of chemosensory biology, including taste, smell, vomeronasal, and trigeminal chemoreception in both vertebrates and invertebrates. Approaches can range from molecular to behavioral to ecological, and papers integrating multiple approaches are encouraged. Papers on the development of new methodology for investigating the chemical senses are welcomed, but should include experimental evidence that validates the new technology. Papers on clinical and applied research are also welcomed, but should have a fundamental concept in the chemical senses as their primary focus.
