Olfactory Research

Olfactory research studies the sense of smell and how it affects our behavior, emotions, and memories. Scientists investigate how odors are detected by receptors in the nose and how they influence our perceptions and interactions with the environment. This research can help us understand everything from the basics of human biology to the impact of smells on mental health and consumer choices. By exploring the complex ways our sense of smell works, researchers aim to improve areas like fragrance development, food science, and even clinical treatments for conditions related to the olfactory system.
