The olfactory nerve near the front of your brain and at the top of your nose is responsible for your sense of smell. Damage the nerve, you lose the sense of smell permanently
Its smell Information goes to olfactory cortex of the frontal lobe without going through the thalamus. Its the only major sense that does not go through the thalamus
A domestic cat can smell with roughly 200 million smell-sensitive receptors (humans have 5 million). A domestic dog can range from as low, in comparison, as 125 million to as high as 220 million depending on the breed. Scenthounds receptors are obviously on the higher end of the scale. On an average the cat can smell better than the dog but the specific winner goes to the Dog breed of Bloodhound, which can have as many as 300 million. This makes them a clear winner in breed but not in genus.
Information doesn't go from the brain to a sense organ, its the other way around. Sense organs send information to the brain via afferent pathways of the PNS (peripheral nervous system). How this works is dependent on what sense your talking about. The basic outline for how senses work is a specialized receptor cell gets stimulated (light sound etc) and then sends an action potential to the thalamus where it is then routed to a specific cortex of the brain. Olfaction (smell) is the only sense that doesn't get routed by the thalamus.
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.
When water goes down the wrong pipe, it can irritate the sensitive tissues in your throat, triggering a cough reflex to clear the airway.
no way
When you lose your sense of smell you begin to lose taste too. This happens because a large portion of your taste comes from smell.
If you lose your sense of smell your sense of taste generally goes with it, since the two senses are closely linked.
No. That doesn't make any sense, does it? While we sleep a lot of our sensory information goes to our dreams, it takes a strong jolt to wake us up, whether it be a smell, bright flash, loud sound, etc. If that were the case, then smelling salts wouldn't wake people up, either.
The sense of smell is directed through the limbic system without passing through the thalamus first.
When something goes wrong, it goes awry.
Check the air filter and other parts of the air supply. If that's not the problem, you probably have a sticking fuel injector.

As people age, their sense of smell tends to decline. This is due to a number of factors, including changes in the structure and function of the olfactory system, as well as the gradual loss of olfactory receptors. Age-related smell loss can impact a person's ability to detect and identify odors.
It depends what goes wrong
