A specific aroma refers to a particular scent or fragrance that can be perceived by the olfactory system. It is a distinct smell that can evoke memories, emotions, and physiological responses.
The olfactory system is responsible for our sense of smell. It includes receptors in the nose that detect different odors and send signals to the brain.
Pheromones are chemical substances produced by animals (including humans) to communicate with each other through scent. They can influence behavior or trigger physiological responses.
Conditioning refers to the process of learning associations between stimuli and responses. In the context of aromas, prolonged exposure to a specific aroma can lead to conditioned responses, where we start associating that smell with certain emotions or behaviors.
