Olfactory navigation refers to the ability of animals (and potentially humans) to navigate and orient themselves in their environment using their sense of smell. This process involves detecting and interpreting various odor cues present in the environment, which can provide information about food sources, potential mates, territorial boundaries, and even the presence of predators. In animals such as insects, rodents, and some birdspecies, olfactory navigation is crucial for survival and daily activities.
