The series of events required for an organism to receive an olfactory stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. Olfaction involves the detection of chemical composition of an organism's ambient medium by chemoreceptors. This is a neurological process. The series of events involved in the perception of smell in which an olfactory chemical stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. The series of events in which a sensory chemical stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. The series of events involved in sensory perception in which a sensory stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. The series of events in which a chemical stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. The series of events required for an organism to receive a sensory chemical stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. This is a neurological process.
