I find it interesting that Goose can “think” about the scent of vanilla (eg.) but the emotion of the smell isn’t there. Ohm, could this be damage to the amygdala or hippocampus downstream from the primary, sensory neurons or some other downstream neural cluster where the “memory” of “smell” used to reside?

Off the top of my head, I would think it would be downstream and that broken linkage stops serotonin (or other mood regulator) activation which would affect the emotional response.
