Summary
In this Squiz Kids Science Short, we explore what smell actually is, how your brain recognises different scents using patterns of signals, and why smell has been one of the most mysterious senses for scientists to understand. Plus, we take a look at brand new research from Harvard Medical School revealing a hidden “map” inside the nose. It’s a fascinating look at one of your body’s most powerful — and surprising — senses… hiding right under your nose.
