What the brain does when it receives a signal indicating a smell?

When the brain receives a signal indicating a smell, it processes the information in the olfactory bulb, a region responsible for processing smell. This information is then relayed to other parts of the brain, such as the limbic system, which is involved in emotions and memory. The brain then interprets the smell and triggers a response based on past experiences and associations with that particular smell.
