Olfaction

'Olfaction is the sense of smell, reliant on special sensory cells which may are located in different parts of a body (eg. humans - nose-lining, insects - antennae, Myxilinic frost-worms from Myxilinis Minima - above the central mouth). Different species have different levels of sensitivity, and the sense of smell has many different uses from defense to attraction, to communication. In many species, like humans, the olfaction system uses the same parts of the brain as memory and emotion. This was a weakness that the Dreamspinner, Shas-Raklat exploited by changing the Karagulans perception of events in order to abduct their children for spare sensory parts.
