George and Jack and All,

For me also, it is the olefactory sense which congers up the strongest, most ocmplete memories. If the thread gets really dead, I'll relate a stange but dull incident from my early childhood which I recall vividly every time I am around growing or freshly picked concord grapes. But trust me, you really don't want to hear it. <vbg> And tobacco smoke . . . ah, the nostalgia.

George,

The olfactory sense is the most primitive, and it would not be unreasonable to think that those memory evocations would be most easily stimulated by smell. I think the forepart or primitive part of the brain is called the rhinencephalon, and of course the olfactory nerve is Cranial Nerve I.

I agree with you that it is the most powerful in this regard.

Jack
