  1. For this reason, researchers now argue that smell deserves far more credit than the dismissive label of a "primitive" sense suggests.
  2. When these receptors fire, they send signals directly to brain regions tied to memory and emotion, which explains why a single whiff can summon a vivid recollection.
  3. This remarkable sensitivity exists because scent molecules bind to hundreds of distinct types of receptors lining the nasal cavity.
  4. In reality, the human nose can distinguish among an estimated trillion different odours, a range that dwarfs our ability to discriminate colours or musical tones.
