smell

Smell is the most developed sense in the baby at the time of birth, much superior to that we have as adults, to such an extent that it allows it to feed itself by looking for the mother's breast. If the baby is placed on the mother's abdomen in skin-to-skin contact, the baby will instinctively crawl up to her breast. The newborn will crawl, guided by the smell, until it reaches the nipple and begins to suck.

We tend to say that happiness is something that escapes our eyes: an invisible sensation that makes us smile more and for which others interpret that we are in a better mood for some reason. Now, a new research carried out by scientists from the University of Koc in Istanbul (Turkey) and the Higher Institute of Applied Psychology of Lisbon (Portugal), affirms that happiness can be smelled, since the emotional state of contentment and joy provokes that we secrete certain chemical substances that are secreted by sweat and that others can perceive and be imbued with.
