agnosia
olfactory |älˈfakt(ə)rē; ōl-|adjectiveof or relating to the sense of smell : the olfactory organs.It is an adjective so it is used to describe anything that has to do with the sense of smell.ex. Reptiles have two distinct olfactory systems - the main olfactory system, and the accessory olfactory system.orAs of now, there is no theory that explains olfactory perception completely.
Olfactory stimulation an aspect of perceptual stimulation and is achieved by stimulation of the olfactory system.**************************An odour will produce olfactory stimulation [olfactory refers to the sense of smell]
agnosia
The olfactory cortex is a part of the superior temporal lobe.
There are three major types of agnosia: visual agnosia, auditory agnosia, and tactile agnosia.
inability to recognize the import of sensory impressions; the varieties correspond with several senses and are distinguished as auditory (acoustic), gustatory, olfactory, tactile, and visual.
An agnosia is an inability to recognize objects by use of the senses.

Lissauer was the first scientist to provide a detailed account of agnosia (1888). He hypothesized that disorders in visual object recognition could be classified as either apperceptive agnosia or associative agnosia.

The Olfactory nerve. CN1 Cranial Nerve I, or the first cranial nerve called the Olfactory nerve.
Yes. There are two distinct parts to the olfactory system--the main olfactory system and the accessory olfactory system
Carbon monoxide poisoning is a frequent cause of apperceptive visual agnosia. The ensuing brain damage is frequently profuse and located in the posterior region of the brain.
in the olfactory bulb
The mechanism of the olfactory system can be divided into a peripheral one, sensing an external stimulus and encoding it as an electric signal in neurons, and a central one, where all signals are integrated and processed in the central nervous system. The peripheral olfactory system receptors are connected to bipolar olfactory receptor neurons in the olfactory epithelium. Fot the central olfactory system, axons from the olfactory sensory neurons converge in the olfactory bulb.
