Article Synopsis
- There’s a theory that suggests schizophrenia symptoms might get better with medicine that blocks certain dopamine receptors, but not everyone gets better.
- Researchers studied 21 people who were just diagnosed with schizophrenia and hadn’t taken medication before to see how dopamine release affected their symptoms over a year.
- They found that certain areas of the brain releasing more dopamine were linked to improvements in symptoms, helping to understand why some patients respond better to treatment than others.
Objective: An association between odor and cognitive impairment has been shown in many studies. The objective of the present hospital-based, single-center retrospective study was to assess the impact of odor impairment on the mortality of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), subjective cognitive decline (SCD), and mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
Methods: Odor function was measured by Sniffin Sticks (Burghart Messtechnik, Holm, Germany) and the assessment of self-reported olfactory functioning and olfaction-related quality of life (ASOF) test.
