> Apparently not everyone can detect the same smells. So are the olfactory senses working "properly" in those that cannot smell something or have a very much higher threshold for detection?-I would think this is individual variation working properly.-> Rom: This is the sense I am asking the question. Similarly if someone does not have a sense of pain, is their nervous system working "properly"?-Thinking mechanically as a physician, I think not.
