Our brains are keenly tuned into scent. An adult can distinguish between over 10,000 different smells. Scent is the only sensory system that does not have to pass through the complicated circuitry of the brain before being processed.
Odor molecules bypass the brain's thalamus and gain immediate access to the amygdala which is the supervisor of all of our emotions, experiences, and memories. Therefore, smell directly stimulates emotions. Smell is the sense most strongly tied to memory. The information from our sense of smell is fast tracked to its destination more effectively than any other sensory neurons in our body.
