Hello doctor. I am 46 years old male. I am suffering from anosmia. I want to know which part of the brain is responsible for smell?

Smells are handled by the olfactory bulb, the structure in the front of the brain that sends information to the other areas of the body's central command for further processing. Odors take a direct route to the limbic system, including the amygdala and the hippocampus, the regions related to emotion and memory.
