Summary

This study aims to understand how different parts of the brain control our sense of smell and guide our behavior. Healthy adults aged 18 to 45 will undergo tasks involving odors, pictures, and sounds while researchers use ultrasound and brain scans to measure brain activity. The goal is to learn more about the basic science of smell, not to treat any disease.
