The olfactory system is highly conserved across mammalian species (Ache and Young, 2005; Gelperin, 1999; Hildebrand and Shepherd, 1997; Laurent, 2002). In particular, the human and rodent olfactory systems share numerous common traits, including the basic organization of the olfactory central nervous system, aspects of odor guided behaviors, the nature of odorant receptor proteins, and processing at the molecular and synaptic levels (Fig. 1). These shared characteristics make rodents an excellent model for use in understanding the human olfactory system and has led to widespread use of rodents in olfactory studies. As a result, knowledge of the rodent olfactory system is expansive, and has been the primary guide to human olfactory research for decades. Though the olfactory systems of the two species are highly similar (Ache and Young, 2005), some differences are apparent (Mainland et al., 2014; Maresh et al., 2008; McGann, 2017; Trimmer et al., 2019), and direct data from humans is lacking. Our current understanding of the human olfactory system relies substantially on inferences from direct knowledge obtained in rodents. Inferring from rodents is well justified, and has moved the field of human olfaction forward. However, within the growing human olfaction literature, it is often unclear which statements are inferred from rodent work, and which are directly from human data. In order to avoid confusion and compounded misstatements, there arises a periodic need to assess the state of direct knowledge of the human olfactory system. Our goal here is to provide a thorough review of olfactory literature in order to assess and clarify our current direct knowledge of the human olfactory system, as compared to the rodent olfactory system. A critical examination of confirmed versus inferred features of the human olfactory system will help identify particularly large gaps in this knowledge.We also discuss the clinical importance of obtaining direct knowledge of the human olfactory system. Olfaction is profoundly involved in a broad range of neuropathology, but our understanding of the mechanisms of this involvement is poor. Neurodegenerative diseases often present with early olfactory symptoms in humans (Albers et al., 2006; Barresi et al., 2012; Doty, 2012; Godoy et al., 2015; Hawkes, 2003; Mesholam et al., 1998; Ross et al., 2008), and olfactory loss is a strong predictor of life expectancy (Devanand et al., 2015; Ekström et al., 2017; Pinto et al., 2014; Schubert et al., 2016). Both human and rodent work has implicated olfactory structures in Parkinson’s disease (Doty, 2012; Ubeda-Bañon et al., 2014; Westermann et al., 2008), and there is also significant research from both species suggesting that olfactory cortical structures may be involved in seizure generation for some forms of epilepsy (Espinosa-Jovel et al., 2019; Galovic et al., 2019; Laufs et al., 2011; Menassa et al., 2017; Vaughan and Jackson, 2014; Vismer et al., 2015; Young et al., 2018).
