Smell 101: How it actually works, Memory, Longevity & Quality of Life | Olfaction 101

I will be watching this video again for sure! So interesting... it is dinging all the information thirsty bits of my brain! 🔔 The way you break down these topics and explain them, the science-y bits, in a digestible manner for the non science-y listener (me) is quite simply brilliant 🙌

It's interesting that men and women experiences smells so differently, and that there is such a marked difference in spatial ability as well.

From my experience, "re-writing" associations is only a daunting task if done consciously. Most levels of awareness are not superficial; but once accessed, can be extremely helpful in retrieving useful information (both personal and transpersonal) and even facilitating profound psychological and physiological healing. Significant change can even happen in a matter of seconds, and doesn't need to be self-generated, although most healing is. Learning to function consciously with direct or peripheral awareness of these levels in the moment (many of them outside of any time domain) is a challenge believe me, but can expand the mind in ineffable ways. It's also how people go crazy. 😆🤪 Best to adapt slowly, like with olfaction. 😉 Ps, why not give smelling perfume in lucid dream states a try? 😁

Oh yes, the so-called negativity bias of the brain. It is triggered on a daily basis on the bus to work 😂
