Chemistry:Odor-evoked memory

From HandWiki

Odor-evoked memory is the ability to recognize and remember whether or not one has smelled an odor before. This form of odor memory is similar to recognizing other sensory semantic cues, such as knowing what a particular sound signifies. Odors can evoke positive autobiographical memories and increase positive emotions, decrease negative mood states, disrupt cravings, and reduce physiological indices of stress, including systemic markers of inflammation.[1][2]

The research have done in Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior, Brown University by Rachel Sarah Herz , James Eliaseen , Spohia Beland and Timothy Souza in 6th August 2003.[3]
