How odors are turned into long-term memories
Neuroscientists have investigated which brain area is responsible for storing odors as long-term memories. Some odors can trigger memories of experiences from years back. A new study shows that the piriform cortex, a part of the olfactory brain, is involved in the process of saving those memories; the mechanism, however, only works in interaction with other brain areas.![](http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/top_news/top_science/~4/HjvfhCIs0zY)
