In the movi...Smell is indeed a very powerful thing. In the movie "Someone like you". Ashley Judd plays a girl that was dumped by someone she thinks is the love of her life. There's a little bit of that movie where she fantazies about going to a doctor to have her amygdala removed, so she can't smell anymore. Its hilarious!<br /><br />Jane : I want my erotic nose-brain removed. <br />Doc : I beg your pardon? <br />Jane : My amygdala, the organ deep inside the nasal cavity, which processes scent which then connects to memory. I'd like it extracted. <br />Doc : But why would you want to voluntarily make yourself anosmatic? <br />Jane : Let me see if I can explain this. Um, I had this boyfriend. Ok. And he smelled really, really good. Like soap and fresh laundry and vanilla. And every time I smell any of those smells, I'm reminded of my boyfriend and how happy we were before he dumped me for no good reason. And I get very sad and then I get angry, and before I know it, I'm in the throes of an all-out emotional breakdown!Reddalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16003909269955841776noreply@blogger.com
