Smell perception in normal tension glaucoma patients
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to quantify the ability to identify odors in normal tension glaucoma (NTG) patients and healthy subjects with and without a primary vascular dysregulation (PVD). METHODS Both self-assessment of smell perception and evaluation of odor identification by means of the 12-item odor identification test ("Sniffin' Sticks") were performed in the following groups of s...
متن کاملRecovery of Olfactory Function Induces Neuroplasticity Effects in Patients with Smell Loss
The plasticity of brain function, especially reorganization after stroke or sensory loss, has been investigated extensively. Based upon its special characteristics, the olfactory system allows the investigation of functional networks in patients with smell loss, as it holds the unique ability to be activated by the sensorimotor act of sniffing, without the presentation of an odor. In the presen...
متن کاملMetallic taste and retronasal smell.
A series of experiments investigated the nature of metallic taste reports and whether they can be attributed to the development of a retronasal smell. Two studies showed that the metallic sensation reports following oral stimulation with solutions of FeSO4 were reduced to baseline when the nose was occluded. No such reduction was seen for CuSO4 or ZnSO4, which were more bitter and astringent, r...
متن کاملSuperior Orthonasal but Not Retronasal Olfactory Skills in Congenital Blindness
Sight is undoubtedly important for finding and appreciating food, and cooking. Blind individuals are strongly impaired in finding food, limiting the variety of flavours they are exposed to. We have shown before that compared to sighted controls, congenitally blind individuals have enhanced olfactory but reduced taste perception. In this study we tested the hypothesis that congenitally blind sub...
متن کاملOlfactory training induces changes in regional functional connectivity in patients with long-term smell loss
Recently, olfactory training has been introduced as a promising treatment for patients with olfactory dysfunction. However, less is known about the neuronal basis and the influence on functional networks of this training. Thus, we aimed to investigate the neuroplasticity of chemosensory perception through an olfactory training program in patients with smell loss. The experimental setup included...
