Question

The ______________ sense is the only one that does not send information to the cortex via the thalamus.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is:

Olfaction

Explanation:

The sense of smell works differently from the other senses in the human being, since it does not need to travel to the hypothalamus to send sensory information, as do the other senses. The olfactory nerve has a direct connection to the forebrain through the cribriform plate bone.
