Abstract
The study describes a uni-rhinal odor detection test that detects early Alzheimer’s disease (AD) with high sensitivity and specificity due to an asymmetrical impairment, tracks the progression of AD as the asymmetry decreases, and helps diagnose Parkinson’s disease due to a symmetrical impairment in odor detection distance.
