Memory and Smell Connection

The video explores the unique connection between scents and memory. It begins with a challenge to recall the order of scents: cinnamon, orange, pine tree, peppermint, and lime. The video explains how the olfactory bulb, part of the limbic system, is closely linked to the hippocampus and amygdala, which are associated with memory and emotion.
