Olfactory System Explained (Combinatorial Processing, Transduction, Cortex) | Full Discussion

Welcome to Science With Tal! In this video, we will cover some important notions about the olfactory system and how it works to allow our sense of smell. We will cover topics such as combinatorial processing, sensory transduction, and the anatomy of the olfactory epithelium/bulb/cortex. Map of gustatory system: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1V7hf...
