This is connected to how the memories are stored. Most of the action takes place in an ancient part of the brain – the limbic system. Odour receptors in the nose, like tiny antennae, send messages to the brain’s olfactory bulb, located above the roof of the nasal cavity, for processing. The olfactory bulb sends its information directly to the amygdala – the memory bank for emotional experience. There is no extra processing en route, as there is for our other senses, so smell memories link to emotional memories in a raw state. From there, the interwoven memories of smells and emotions are sent to the hippocampus for long-term filing. This fits with Chabon’s anecdote. He found the scent of his old comics pulled a woven thread of memory, which included an early emotional experience." - Cosmos, 13 July 2015.<br /><br />"For example, the psychoactivity of Boswellia resin (including frankincense and olibanum) has been recognized for centuries, as it has been known to bring about experiences of spiritual exaltation in cultural and religious ceremonies. Research on the plant has shown that incensole acetate (IA), a constituent of Boswellia resin, brings about a anti-depressive-like behavior by activating TRPV3 ion channels in the brain." "Incense" Psychology Today, 12 December 2012<br /><br />If I encounter the fragrance of Jergens Lotion I am immediately connected with memories of our mother who used that product all the time. It's a most pleasant experience!<br /><br />And I always use pure Ethiopian frankincense. Beware of the formulas that include wood chips, even cedar. They may produce lots of smoke, but a "burned" smell comes along pretty quickly.<br /><br />Fr. Michael J.
