Question 4:
How do we detect the smell of an agarbatti (incense stick)?
Answer:
The thinking part of our brain is the forebrain. It has separate areas that are
specialized for hearing, smelling, sight, taste, touch, etc. The forebrain also has
regions that collect information or impulses from the various receptors. When the
smell of an incense stick reaches us, our forebrain detects it. Then, the forebrain
interprets it by putting it together with the information received from other receptors
and also with the information already stored in the brain.
