Summary Introduction

To determine:

The evolutionary advantages of connecting smell to memory, and what smells may be more strongly related to memory.

Concept introduction:

Smell is the only sense that does not get processed in the thalamus. Smells are processed in the olfactory bulb, which then transmits the information to the olfactory cortex of the brain. The frontal lobes process whether the smell is pleasant or unpleasant, and the amygdala processes the intensity of the smell. The amygdala is also involved in aspects of memory and emotions.
