Amandha Vollmer (ADV) discusses the olfactory system (sense of smell) and its connection to the nervous system. She explains how our sensory organs transmit nerve signals to the brain, where these signals are processed. The olfactory system is particularly potent, influencing our mood, emotions, behaviors, and memories.
Amandha delves into the link between memory and our sense of smell, shedding light on why we remember certain scents. She notes that memory and smell can also be tied to our emotions, meaning that specific scents can trigger positive or negative emotional responses based on the associated memories.
For instance, if a positive memory is linked to a scent, smelling it will likely evoke positive emotions. Conversely, a negative memory associated with a scent can lead to negative emotions. Amandha points out that the perfume industry capitalizes on this concept, creating fragrances that influence perceptions of people based on scent. This manipulation works by altering the way pheromones signal to the brain, artificially affecting our liking or disliking of someone.
