Among the fabrics used in scrubs, cotton remains the finest material. Many doctors and nurses look for scrubs made of 100 percent cotton. This is understandable since the greater the amount of the cotton in the blend, the softer and more comfortable the scrubs will be.
During every moment of an organism's life, sensory information is being taken in by sensory receptors and processed by the nervous system. Sensory information is stored in sensory memory just long enough to be transferred to short-term memory. Humans have five main senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch. Sensory memory (SM) allows individuals to retain impressions of sensory information after the original stimulus has ceased.
The hippocampus is the part of the brain that is involved in forming, organizing, and storing memories. It is a limbic system structure that is particularly important in forming new memories and connecting emotions and senses, such as smell and sound, to memories. The hippocampus is a horseshoe shaped paired structure, with one section located in the left brain hemisphere and the other in the right hemisphere.
