Can scents affect mood, emotions and activate memories? We find out. Scents affect people’s mood, work performance and behaviour in a variety of ways, but it isn’t because they affect us like a drug, rather they affect us through our past experiences with them. Today, we’re exploring the connection that scents have with our emotions and welcome, Thembelihle Dube, Clinical Psychologist, in the studio to shed some light on the subject. Thembelihle does say that the capacity to smell is mediated by the limbic system that also mediates emotion. Olfactory receptors also interact with the hippocampus an area in the brain that deals with the formation of new memories. As well as to the cortex, where our brain then 'recognizes' the scent.
