A Pilot Study on a Possible Mechanism behind Olfactory Dysfunction in Parkinson’s Disease: The Association of TAAR1 Downregulation with Neuronal Loss and Inflammation along Olfactory Pathway

et al.

Abstract: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized not only by motor symptoms but also by non-motor dysfunctions, such as olfactory impairment; the cause is not fully understood. Our study suggests that neuronal loss and inflammation in brain regions along the olfactory pathway, such as the olfactory bulb (OB) and the piriform cortex (PC), may contribute to olfactory dysfunction in PD mice, which might be related to the downregulation of the trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) in these areas. In the striatum, alt… Show more
