HONG KONG — Of our five senses, it’s often the one that we think about the least: our sense of smell.
Of our five senses, it’s often the one that we think about the least: our sense of smell.
Our sense of smell — the only sense fully developed in the womb — is managed by the olfactory bulb, which sits at the bottom of the cerebral hemisphere near the front of the brain and above the top of the nose. About 80 per cent of your experience of taste relies on smell. If your sense of smell is dulled for any reason — because you’ve got a cold, say — your taste won’t be as sharp. The taste buds on your tongue only do part of the job, picking up the sweet, sour, bitter, salty and umami tastes.
That “enrichment” was delivered by exposing participants to seven specific scents a week, one a night for two hours. By making it possible for people to experience these smells while sleeping, they eliminated the need to set aside time for this during the day. Rachel Pacyna, a University of Chicago medical student whose goal is to use neuroscience to investigate issues in women’s health, including ageing and memory, explains the link.
