title: Sensory mechanisms on the molecular level.
abstract: As sensory perception is the channel by which we learn about the nature of the world around us it has been the subject of philosophical inquiry since classical antiquity. With the emergence of science in its modern sense in the 17th century, experimental investigation began to be possible but it was only with the relatively recent advent of molecular biology that sensory perception can be studied at its basic level.
