Following the departure of Phillips, Genesis recruited Collins and Hackett and recorded several progressive rock style albums, with live shows centred around Gabriel's theatrical costumes and performances. The group were initially commercially successful in Europe, before entering the UK charts with Foxtrot (1972).

Smell and taste are linked in that a person's brain merges messages about taste and smell, permitting a person to detect the flavor of a food, explains BrainFacts.org. When an odor and taste are experienced together, a person makes an association between the two sensory experiences, so that the smell of a food influences its taste, and the taste of a food influences its smell, notes Scientific American. When a person is unable to smell a food, he may discover that the food tastes different. In fact, the food has the same taste, but a person is not able to perceive the food's flavor because his brain is not receiving any olfactory messages, according to BrainFacts.org.
One possibility, which is supported by this recent experiment, is that the olfactory cortex has a direct neural link to the hippocampus. In contrast, all of our other senses (sight, touch and hearing) are first processed somewhere else â they go to the thalamus â and only then make their way to our memory center.This helps explain why weâre so dependent on metaphors to describe taste and smell. new paper by scientists at the Weizmann Institute documents the primal connection between whiffs of smell and episodic memory. This nasal nostalgia is mediated by the hippocampus, the manufacturer of long-term memory in the brain.
