In episode 73 of The People's Scientist podcast, I cover some very recent clinical evidence that connects our sense of smell with our memory and emotion. Have you ever smelled a scent of your past and been transported back in time to an emotional memory? I bet it is a memory from when you were in childhood. The reason for that is rooted in neuroscience. The regions in our brain that are activated upon smelling a scent are directly linked to brain regions that regulate our memory and emotions. As a result, our sense of smell has been linked to cognitive decline and dementia. Can we use our sense of smell as a unique strategy to promote memory recall, new memory formation, and performance? Tune in to find out!
