pabulum Memory Smells like Nostalgia chose to share a story about my prehistoric realize this summer with fund being triggered by taste and how the dickens senses work together to bring back a unique memory from a certain epoch period. During my time from K-8 1 had a au thereforetically great friend that I would always hangout with after indoctrinate. We would liberty chit to his house each day after school and when we got to his house the branch thing we would always do is raid the sharpness cabinet. This was no cut-and-dry collation cabinet, it had e reallything you could ever dream of for a snackHis mother would however allow us to have one thing from the cabinet and then would lock it up till dinner. There was only one snack that always would chose, and it was Fruit Gushers. These shrimpy guys are a soft sweeten that burst when you bite into it. Inside the gummy candy is a little bit of growthy syrup so you can get two opposite textures from the one candy bite. Was so in love with fruit gushers because I could only get them at my friends house. My parents would never buy them for me or let me pick them out, so going over to Tyler house aftershock customary was quite a treat and is one of my most endnotes memories.This memory was of late relived, this summer 10 years later from having Fruit Gushers friends. I had the day off from work and I was over at a different friends house playing Pollination 4. Lost contact with my friends my middle school after we split to different high schools. After a spot my friend got hungry and ask me if I wanted a snack from the pantry, and of course said Sure , surprise me He comes back up stairs and he throws me a yellow package. Sure enough it was the analogous Fruit Gushers that I had when was younger.It was nostalgic and instantly got thrown back into time and remember all of the fun things I used to do in middle school and how life used to be without any worries. This was very interesting to me tha t the senses of taste and smell and trigger long lost memories of ones life. For this bemuse decided to do a little research to actually sense out why smell can trigger pas memories. My research frame that after a smell enters the nose, it travels with the cranial nerve through the olfactory bulb, which helps the brain process smells. The olfactory bulb is part of the limbic system, the motional center of the brain.As a member of the limbic system, the olfactory bulb can easily access the magical, which plays a role in horny memories (its also where the fight or flight reflex comes from) this close kindred between the olfactory and the magical is one of the reason odors cause a spark of nostalgia. It is very interesting that I found this study to be true and what was experiencing was pure nostalgia, and that is an amazing aspect of the human body, being adequate to relate a certain smell with a past experience in life that you normally would have forgotten.
