a: olfaction ~
b: background fabric to our world

What:

"Olfaction is like this background fabric to our world that we might not be conscious of, but we are using it to stay oriented," Jacobs said. "We may not see a eucalyptus grove as we pass it at night, but our brain is encoding the smells and creating a map."
