Heterogeneity of odorant identification impairment in patients with Alzheimer’s Disease
Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients exhibit olfactory dysfunction. However, the olfactory declineti precise nature is not fully understood. One hundred patients (60 AD, 28 amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), 12 Normal) were enrolled. All participants underwent olfactory function testin...
