Smell, memory, and emotion have a reciprocal relationship; our experience of smell is steeped in memory and emotional context. Likewise, these cognitive processes are supported by our brain’s olfactory system. Join neuroscientist Dr. Leslie M. Kay this October at the Institute for Art and Olfaction for an in-person lecture covering her recent research in the neuroscience of smell as part of our Olfactory Research Notes series. #neuroscience #olfaction #instituteforartandolfaction #olfactory #olf
