Which sense is most closely linked to memory?
Smell.
The sense of smell is deeply linked to memory due to the brain's anatomy. Olfactory signals are processed in the olfactory bulb, which is closely connected to the amygdala and hippocampus, areas heavily involved in emotion and memory formation. This proximity is why smells often evoke more vivid memories than inputs from other senses.

In addition to the five main senses, do animals experience any other senses?
Yes!
In addition to the five basic senses, nearly all animals sense motion, heat, cold, pressure, pain, and balance. The sense of motion—knowing where the arms and legs are and where to move them—is called kinesthesis. The sense of balance, or equilibrium, is controlled by structures in the inner ear. These structures help keep the body in balance and prevent falls.

What is the most common eye colour?
Brown:
The most common eye color, with a high concentration of melanin in the iris that absorbs light and results in a dark hue. Brown eyes are common in many parts of the world, including Africa, Asia, and the Americas.
Blue is the second most common eye color, with less pigment than brown eyes. The blue color is the result of light scattering within the iris, a phenomenon known as Rayleigh scattering. Blue eyes are most common in Europe.
Green is the rarest eye color, with a mix of brown and yellow hues that create a green color when combined with light scattering. Green eyes are most common in parts of Northern and Central Europe.
Similar to blue eyes, but with a different fiber structure in the iris that scatters light differently. Gray: Gray eyes are relatively rare and often found in people of Northern and Eastern European descent.

There is another sense that impacts what you taste. what is it?
Smell.
Our sense of smell in responsible for about 80% of what we taste. Without our sense of smell, our sense of taste is limited to only five distinct sensations: sweet, salty, sour, bitter and the newly discovered “umami” or savory sensation. All other flavours that we experience come from smell. This is why, when our nose is blocked, as by a cold, most foods seem bland or tasteless. Also, our sense of smell becomes stronger when we are hungry.

Which body part contains the most nerve endings?
Tongue
The body part that contains the most nerve endings is the tongue. The tongue is densely packed with nerve endings that allow it to detect a wide range of sensations, including taste, temperature, and texture. These nerve endings are primarily concentrated in the taste buds and the surrounding tissue, enabling the tongue to be highly sensitive to different stimuli. This high density of nerve endings makes the tongue one of the most sensitive parts of the human body.
