ELKRIDGE, Md., May 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Small business, Evon Medics, LLC today announced that its study titled "Comparative Effects of Repetitive Odor Identification and Odor Memory Tasks on Olfactory Engagement in Older Populations – A Pilot fMRI Study" has been published in the Dove Medical Press Journal of Neuropsychiatric Disease and Treatments.
The study results from a predominantly African American sample suggest that odor identification tasks may be more potent than memory tasks in targeted olfactory engagement in older populations. An interesting finding from the study was that repetitive odor identification significantly engaged the hippocampus – a region relevant to Alzheimer's Disease – more significantly than did odor memory tasks.
