精神障碍患者嗅觉功能异常的研究进展

Research progress of olfactory dysfunction in patients with mental disorders

精神障碍患者的嗅觉功能和嗅觉相关研究是当前的热点领域之一。嗅觉相关脑区与精神障碍发病机制所涉及的大脑重要区域有部分重叠,嗅觉功能测评提供了一种非侵入性的研究方法。本文就最常见的精神障碍与嗅觉的相关研究进展进行综述。

Olfactory deficits have be identified in psychiatric disorders in recent studies. Brain areas involved in the mechanism of mental disorders partially overlapped with the olfaction function related areas. The assessment of olfactory function may be a potential noninvasive way for patients with mental disorders. We reviewed updated progress of olfactory function in mental disorders.
