Mini Episode: Neuroscience of Smell
Covid-19 has had wild effects on our sense of smell and taste... and for some, it completely blocked those senses altogether.
So... how do we smell?
Or equally important, why do we smell?
What's going on in the brain that allows us to turn molecules from the air into a recognizable scent, that can even trigger memories?
Learn the answers (and more next month) on this month's mini-episode!
