TITLE OF ARTICLE: Aroma Driven: On the Trail of the Most Emotional
Sense
AUTHOR: Benderly, Beryl Lieff
JOURNAL NAME: Health
DATE: Dec. 1988
PAGE(S) ?-77
ACCESSION NUMBER: 02
SENSE(S): Smell
ABSTRACT: The main subject of this article is the
connection between the sense of smell and behavior,
<LK106 SMELL> and especially emotions. Major foci
of this article are the following: that pleasure
and pain are closely associated with smell; smell
and the effects it has on the brain; smell and the
effect it has on memory (researchers seem to agree
that smell triggers distant memory more effectively
than other sense); the social effects of smell,
which included results of animal studies.
