Olfaction: Sense of Smell (Intro Psych Tutorial #52)

In this video I explain the process of transduction for scent; how odorant molecules in the air can trigger different olfactory receptor neurons which then send messages to the rhinencephalon or "nose brain". I mention the links between scent, emotion, and memory and how pheromones allow for chemical communication between members of a species. Finally I mention the relationship between scent and taste, which will be further explained in the next video.
