Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Olfaction (sense of smell) has the most direct route to the brain because it is the only sense that bypasses the thalamus, which acts as a relay station for all other senses. Instead, olfactory information is sent directly to the olfactory bulbs, which are located in the brain's limbic system, associated with emotions and memories.
