The anterior olfactory nucleus is the memory hub for smell. [24] When different odor objects or components are mixed, humans and other mammals sniffing the mixture (presented by, e.g., a sniff bottle) are often unable to identify the components in the mixture even though they can recognize each individual component presented alone.

The Lady and the Unicorn, a Flemish tapestry depicting the sense of smell, 1484–1500. Musée national du Moyen Âge, Paris.. Early scientific study of the sense of smell includes the extensive doctoral dissertation of Eleanor Gamble, published in 1898, which compared olfactory to other stimulus modalities, and implied that smell had a lower intensity discrimination.
Dogs have a significantly larger olfactory epithelium with 30 percent more olfactory receptors than humans. [24] Having more olfactory receptors that can recognize a much larger variety of odorants. Dogs rely on sniffing to gather past information on their surrounding environment though odor detection and identification allowing them to ...

Researchers collected specimens from the coast of Florida and Alabama.
Overall, the gnome sea pen has 328 tentacles. Several close-up photos show a diagram of this anatomy. The polyps are marked with the label “Au,” and the tentacles are marked with “Ten.”
