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.
To improve the quality of my content, I highly value the feedback from the viewer so do not hesitate to give any feedback in the comment section.
