          ‘Psychopaths’ Have An Impaired Sense of Smell

          People with psychopathic tendencies have an impaired sense of smell, which points to inefficient processing in the front part of the brain (orbitofrontal cortex) according to a new study.

          A Fading Sense of Smell: New Predictor of Late-Life Depression?

          Researchers identified a correlation between loss of smell and an increased risk of developing late-life depression. The study, spanning eight years and involving more than 2,000 older adults, doesn't establish causality but suggests that an impaired sense of smell might indicate overall health and well-being.

          A Nose to Diagnose: Improving Parkinson’s Diagnosis

          Researchers discovered personal odors can alter in people with Parkinson's disease. Based on this, they identified specific markers for Parkinson's in sebum, an oily substance secreted from the skin. They developed a new, non-invasive swab test that can identify Parkinson's with 95% accuracy.
