| - In the air we breathe are molecules called stinkecules which, once entering the nasal cavity, are tasted by thousands of microscopic little tongue things, which then transmit to the brain the olfactory "data." Olfaction does not always work correctly. Many people suffer from "olfactory dysfunction" (OD). Fortunately, this can be corrected using an electronic appliance that involves putting olfactory amplifiers inside the nose. New generations of these devices minimise embarrassment, as they are barely visible to others. On the other hand, patients who suffer from "olfactory hypersensitivity" are best treated with a regimen of huffing hydrocarbons.
- Olfaction, also known as smelling, was a method of detecting chemicals. Different types of creatures used different organs to smell; humans used the lining of their noses, insects used their antennae and Myxilinic frost-worms smelled from above the central mouth. (PROSE: The Colour of Darkness) Though their olfactory system was similar to a human's, the Gallifreyans could do a chemical analysis of the air using their sense of smell. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Carnival of Monsters) In many species, like humans, the olfactory system used the same parts of the brain as memory and emotion. This was a weakness that the Dreamspinner, Shas-Raklat, exploited by changing the Karagulan's perception of events in order to abduct their children for spare sensory parts.
