Abstract
The world around us is filled with odors (smells), some pleasant, calming, or bringing back memories; others stimulating, scary, or disgusting. How many odors do you think you can recognize? You might be surprised to know that humans can recognize hundreds of thousands of different odors—not an easy task to accomplish. So, how do we do it? In this article, we will smell our way through the olfactory system, look at the connections between the nose and the brain, and see how odors are processed in the brain to evoke unique responses.
