Yeah, many people have at least a few of those childhood memories that can be instantly triggered by a certain smell. And yeah, it's not really well known why this happens.

probably able to encode new memories related to smell before we are able to do the same with other senses. And that is maybe why the sense of smell can bring back these old memories. Other sensory events, they tend to bring back memory from the teenage years or young adulthood. For example, our favorite music is usually the music that we loved when we were teenagers.

So as I mentioned, these olfactory receptors are exposed in the nasal cavity. So they are exposed to all kinds of things, viruses, etc., that we breathe in and that can have harmful effects.

The biological system is very good at regeneration and recovering from these insults. It's rarely as good as it was when we were young. So it's a normal consequence of aging. And unfortunately,

It's a notion that was present already in ancient times.
