1. 1. The Forgotten Sense

   The New Science of Smell—and the Extraordinary Power of the Nose

   

   Jonas Olofsson explores the human sense of smell, explaining how olfaction shapes memory, emotion and perception and how it engages the brain even before odor molecules hit receptors. Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, linguistics and history, the book shows why smell has been overlooked, why people can experience the same scent differently, and how smell can be assessed, trained and sometimes recovered after loss. It’s a concise, curiosity-driven look at the science and everyday importance of our often-neglected sense.
