Since you never had any sense of smell, would this help you in developing memories about smell ? I am curious on how your brain react to smell sensation when it does not have any memory associated with it.

That's also something I think about when imagining smelling for the first time.
E.g. smelling something rancid for the first time - how strong of a negative reaction will it be compared to others who grew up with this negative association. Would I ever even be able to map most of the smells others have memorized to their origin? I really hope I get to find out someday.
