A non-invasive olfactory bulb measure dissociates Parkinson’s patients from healthy controls and discloses disease duration

Abstract Olfactory dysfunction is a prevalent non-motor symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD). This dysfunction is a result of neurodegeneration within the olfactory bulb (OB), the first processing area of the central olfactory system, and commonly precedes the characteristic motor symptoms in PD by s...
