MRI of the olfactory bulb (OB) is discussed as a promising new testing method for measuring olfactory function (OF).
Specifically, it implies that group-based measures of olfactory function neither are degraded by smell-blind animals distracting smell-competent ones, nor are inflated by smell-blind animals following their olfactory able peers.
To evaluate olfactory event-related potentials (OERPs) as an objective measurement of olfactory function in infants.
This computerized monitoring system has the capability of measuring different aspects of olfactory function in mice using different paradigms including threshold evaluation, generalization tasks, habituation/dishabituation, olfactory associative learning, short-term olfactory memory with or without a spatial component, and olfactory preferences.
Finally, olfactory function was measured using the Smell Identification Test (SIT), a 40-item scratch and sniff multiple-choice test (Doty 1983) that is widely used to assess olfactory functioning both clinically and experimentally.
They found that those with RBD who developed PD or DLB had evidence at baseline of greater postural fall in blood pressure [ 75], minor motor abnormalities [ 76] and worse colour vision and olfactory function [ 77], although not electrocardiographic measures of cardiac autonomic dysfunction [ 78].
Minimal and maximal limits of olfactory performance measured with this kit do not allow recording of further improvement of olfactory function in patients with maximal score or further deterioration in patients with minimal score.
Therefore, we measured olfactory detection thresholds to phenyl ethyl alcohol to provide an evaluation of general olfactory function using the same odorant and methods used in the clinical assessment conducted at the Monell-Jefferson Chetosensory Clinical Research Center (Cowart et al. 1997).
He also registered his objection to the decision to open Fidyka's skull, noting that this had courted "serious risks of infection, bleeding, and loss of olfactory function".
Boxing seems to affect olfactory function, particularly by reducing the olfactory threshold.
