Identifying Smells and Controlling Impulses.

longingly This correlation impresses me:

Buzovna The researchers found that those individuals who scored highly on psychopathic traits were more likely to struggle to both identify smells and tell the difference between smells, even though they knew they were smelling something. These results show that brain areas controlling olfactory processes are less efficient in individuals with psychopathic tendencies.

Poor smelling is thought to correlate with psychopathic traits because the orbito-frontal cortex both processes smells and regulates impulse-control and the observing of social rules.
