The primary olfactory sensations are sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami. These sensations help us perceive and distinguish different flavors in the foods we eat.
Olfactory sensations usually fade rapidly due to sensory adaptation. This occurs when receptors in the nose become less responsive to a constant smell over time, allowing us to detect changes in our environment rather than being overwhelmed by one smell.
The olfactory cortex, specifically the primary olfactory cortex located in the temporal lobe, is primarily involved in the conscious perception of smell. This area processes the information received from the olfactory bulb to help identify and interpret different odors.
The olfactory area is found in the nasal cavity.A rather simplistic answer by the previous respondent, it is in-fact found in the medial aspect of the temporal lobe.
Smell sensations are sensed when airborne molecules interact with olfactory receptors in the nose. These receptors send signals to the brain's olfactory bulb, where the information is processed and interpreted, leading to the perception of smell.
In the posterior pole of the Occipital cortex.
Gustatory stimuli are taste sensations detected by taste buds on the tongue, palate, and throat, while olfactory stimuli are odor molecules detected by olfactory receptors in the nasal cavity. These stimuli play a crucial role in the perception of flavor, with gustatory sensations contributing to basic tastes like sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami, and olfactory sensations enhancing the overall taste experience through aroma.
Cigarette smoking. Also prolonged exposure.

You have four primary taste sensations. They include salty, sweet, sour, and bitter. These sensations are experienced when the taste buds, called gustatory organs, on the surface of your tongue are stimulated by the different foods you eat or drink.
John Amoore classified these as primary odors, representing fundamental olfactory sensations based on their prevalence among organic compounds.
There are five taste sensations that we can experience. They are sweet, salt, sour, bitter and umami.
the olfactory (smell) and gustatory (taste) sensations pass along the cranial nerves directly to the brain. smell signals travel from the olfactory nerve (made up of groups of nerve fibres ) to a patch of the cortex located in the temporal lobe.

The number of smells is extremely large and probably incalculable. There is a finite amount of matter in the universe, thus a finite amount of olfactory sensations.
The olfactory cortex is the part of the brain involved in processing the sense of smell. It is located in the medial temporal lobes of the brain which are the bottom section of the brain.
