Olfaction deterioration in cognitive disorders in the elderly

Aging Clinical and Experimental Research, 2015
Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases are widespread neurodegenerative pathologies. Parkinson's disease affects about 1 % of the population over the age of 65 years, while Alzheimer is considered the most common cause of dementia, with an annual incidence of 1 % in persons aged 65 years.

How olfaction disorders can cause depression? The role of habenular degeneration

Neuroscience, 2013
The removal of bilateral olfactory bulbs (OBs) can result in serious behavioral, neurochemical, neuroendocrine, and neuroimmune alterations in depressed patients. However, there is little information on how olfactory bulbectomy (OBX) leads to depression.

Schizophrenia and co-occurring substance use disorder: Reward, olfaction and clozapine

Schizophrenia Research, 2014
Co-occurring substance use disorders (SUD), including alcohol, are common in schizophrenia (SZ) and are associated with poor outcome. Emerging data suggest that individuals with SZ have a dysfunctional brain reward circuit that may underlie their frequent use of alcohol and other substances, and further, that the atypical antipsychotic, clozapine (CLOZ)

Clinical Investigation of Disorders of Olfaction

American Journal of Rhinology, 1988
The receptor cells in the olfactory neuroepithelium are regularly replaced and, when injured, regenerate from basal cells and reestablish their central connections. This process of reconstitution occurs throughout the life span after mechanical, chemical, and infectious injury.

Olfaction as a Traumatic Reminder in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, 2003
Memory for odors that are associated with intense emotional experiences is often strongly engraved. Odors are claimed to be more closely connected to affect than other sensory experiences. They can serve as potent contextual cues for memory formation and emotional conditioning and can also serve as cues for olfactory flashbacks.

Olfaction in Affective and Anxiety Disorders: A Review of the Literature

Psychopathology, 2012
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Olfaction and its relation to mental health is an area of growing interest. Brain areas linked to olfaction partially overlap with brain areas involved in psychiatric disorders; consequently, the study of olfactory function allows us to explore the integrity of these brain areas with a non-invasive and ...

Approaches for Assessing Olfaction in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

2018
Olfactory traits in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are considered the strongest predictors of social impairment. Compared to other sensory abnormalities, olfactory abnormalities in individuals with ASD are poorly understood. In this chapter, we provide an overview of the current assessment in individuals with ASD.

Comparison of subjective olfaction ratings in patients with and without olfactory disorders

The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 2012
AbstractObjective:Olfactory dysfunction is common. The reliability of self-assessment tools for smell testing is still controversial. This study aimed to provide new data about the accuracy of olfactory self-assessment compared with a standardised smell test.Design:Prospective, controlled, cohort study of patients with olfactory disorders and healthy ...

Olfaction in Aging and Medical Disorders

1992
Considerable shifts in demographics are taking place on a global scale, and the most significant change is a massive increase in the elderly population. This shift will present challenges to medical practitioners because the elderly have special sensory and nutritional needs that must be taken into account when providing medical care.
