INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON OLFACTION AND TASTE Qualitative Effects in Nasal Trigeminal Chemoreception

Qualitaty of Olfaction in Patients with Nasal and Sinuses Polyposis before and after Endo-scopic Sinus Surgery in, Vali e Asr Hospital in 2017

Background: Olfaction plays an important role in human life and promotes quality of life through understanding various odors. Nasal polyps are among the common causes of olfactory impairment. There are many different treatment options for polyps most notably the diagnosis and elimination of underlying causes. Some polyps do not respond to medication therapy or they relapse, and therefore requir...

The International Meeting of the Committee on Olfaction and Gustation of the German Society of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery

It is known that both smell and taste functions decrease with aging. However, some clinical questions remain, such as the independence of each sensation loss and the correlation between a person’s actual sensory loss and awareness of the loss. In this research, we investigated both the olfactory and taste functions of aged subjects together with their awareness of sensation loss. Effects of ana...

The 15th International Symposium on Olfaction and Taste.

Responses of cultured rat trigeminal ganglion neurons to bitter tastants.

The initial steps in taste and olfaction result from the activation by chemical stimuli of taste receptor cells (TRCs) and olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs). In parallel with these two pathways is the chemosensitive trigeminal pathway whose neurons terminate in the oral and nasal cavities and which are activated by many of the same chemical stimuli that activate TRCs and ORNs. In a recent singl...

Age-Associated Changes in Taste and Odor Sensation, Perception, and Préférence

When an elderly person observes that food simply doesn't taste the way it used to, he or she is referring to food fiavor. The chemical sensés (taste, smell, and trigeminal sensitivity) ail contribute to the perception of food fiavor. The sensé of taste provides the individual with information about sweet, sour, bitter, and salty stimuli. The sensé of smell is extremely important for the percept...
