From figuring out where memories are stored to how sensory information translates to behavior, new technologies are helping neuroscientists better understand how the brain works.
Understanding how the brain translates smells into behavior change can help advance search and rescue technology and treatments for neurological conditions.
A smell will often take us back to a particular place and time. But how are place and smell linked in the brain?
An expert in olfaction explains the effects of long-term smell loss, the subtle role the sense plays in our lives and resources for those affected.
Scientists are experimenting with using dogs to sniff out people infected with COVID-19. But dogs aren't the only animals with a nose for disease.
