Abstract

We present a new olfactory rehabilitation based on neuroplasticity. We propose neuroimaging techniques could be used to evaluate the improvement of olfactory functions and the new olfactory rehabilitation approaches. A computer-controlled olfactometer was used to deliver the stimuli, while the brain functions were assessed by a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The main issue we have found in the characterization of the olfactory reactivity by fMRI has been new activations areas, such orbitofrontal cortex or temporal lobe, related rehabilitation mechanisms.
