The olfactory nerve, or cranial nerve I, plays a crucial role in both survival and the formation of sentimental experiences
Scent is processed in brain regions linked to emotion and memory, like the amygdala and hippocampus, allowing specific smells to evoke vivid memories and emotional responses. This connection can make a familiar fragrance feel comforting, nostalgic, or even bittersweet, underscoring the olfactory nerve’s role in forming sentimental associations and enriching our human experience.
