ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying how certain parts of the human amygdala—a small area deep in the brain involved in emotions—work when they receive signals from the nose's smell-sensing area. Researchers want to learn more about how these specific brain regions process smells and related emotional responses. This study is currently looking for volunteers.
Anyone over 18 years old can take part, regardless of gender. If you join, you can expect to participate in activities that help researchers understand how your brain responds to smells, although the exact procedures will be explained by the study team. This research may help improve our knowledge of how the brain and sense of smell are connected, which could be important for future medical advances.
