Gerüche als Kommunikationspfade – warum Emotionen durch die Nase gehen
Article in several languages: deutsch | English
Zusammenfassung
Für viele Spezies ist der Geruchssinn das bedeutsamste Sinnessystem, um mit der Umwelt und Artgenossen zu interagieren. Demgegenüber wurde die Rolle der Wahrnehmung und Kommunikation chemosensorischer Informationen beim Menschen lange Zeit unterschätzt. Der menschliche Geruchssinn galt als weniger zuverlässig, sodass diesem im Vergleich mit visuellen und auditiven Sinneseindrücken weniger Bedeutung beigemessen wurde. Seit einiger Zeit befasst sich ein wachsender Forschungszweig mit der häufig nur unterbewusst wahrgenommenen Rolle des Geruchssinnes für Emotion und soziale Kommunikation. Dieser Zusammenhang soll im Folgenden genauer betrachtet werden. Zur besseren Verständlichkeit und Einordnung werden zunächst die wesentlichen Hintergründe zu Aufbau und Funktion unseres Riechsystems thematisiert. Darauf aufbauend wird auf die Bedeutung eingegangen, die das Riechen für zwischenmenschliche Kommunikation und unsere Emotionalität hat. Daraus lässt sich schlussfolgern, dass Personen mit Riechstörungen spezifische Lebensqualitätseinschränkungen erleben.
