Because the olfactory bulb is part of the brain\u2019s limbic system, an area so closely associated with memory and feeling it\u2019s sometimes called the \u201cemotional brain,\u201d smell can call up memories and powerful responses almost instantaneously.<\/p>\n<p>The olfactory bulb has intimate access to the amygdala, which processes emotion, and the hippocampus, which is responsible for associative learning. Despite the tight wiring, however, smells would not trigger memories if it weren\u2019t for conditioned responses. When you first smell a new scent, you link it to an event, a person, a thing or even a moment. Your brain forges a link between the smell and a memory \u2014 associating the smell of chlorine with summers at the pool or french fries as you walk by a McDonald\u2019s. When you encounter the smell again, the link is already there, ready to elicit a memory or a mood. Chlorine might call up a specific pool-related memory or simply make you feel content. Lilies might agitate you without your knowing why. This is part of the reason why not everyone likes the same smells!<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A smell can bring on a flood of memories, influence people\u2019s moods and even affect their work performance.
