The olfactory nerve, also known as cranial nerve I, is responsible for the sense of smell. It transmits sensory information from the olfactory receptors in the nasal cavity to the brain, specifically to the olfactory bulb. This nerve plays a crucial role in detecting and identifying odors, which is essential for taste and can influence behavior and emotional responses. Damage to the olfactory nerve can lead to a loss of the sense of smell, known as anosmia.
