Question

Pleasant smell of food urges Ravi to rush into the kitchen. Name the parts of the brain involved in the identification of food and emotional responses to odour?

Answer 1

Olfactory nerve carries the sense of smell to the sensory strip present in the cerebrum. The sensory areas are present in the parietal lobe of the cerebrum. The stimuli of smell reaches the mammillary bodies present in the hypothalamus. This produces olfactory reflexes and emotional responses to odour.
