I have been reading the posts about olfactory (smell) hallucinations with interest and wanted to comment that certain kinds of temporal lobe seizures are associated with an olfactory aura. In some cases, there is no convulsive activity, only strange behavioral stuff. If people are having such auras, an EEG may be in order, followed by possible treatment with anticonvulsant medication.
