smell-brain (plural not attested)

  1. (neuroanatomy) The part of the brain involved with smelling.
    • 1992, Sandra Ackerman, Discovering the Brain:
      This system is a fairly old part of the brain and one that humans share with many other vertebrates; in reptiles, it is known as the rhinencephalon, or “smell-brain,” because it reacts primarily to signals of odor.
