Abstract
Impairments in olfactory function can be potential indicators of the onset or progression of neurological disorders. Nevertheless, olfaction is barely explored in routine clinical examination. This review provides a general idea of how olfaction is related to normal ageing and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and epilepsy, and an overview of recent studies in this field. Resumen: Las alteraciones en la función olfatoria pueden ser indicadores potenciales del curso o inicio de enfermedades neurológicas. Sin embargo, no se le ha dado la importancia debida a la exploración de este sentido en la evaluación clínica cotidiana. Este artículo de revisión pretende proporcionar una idea general de la relevancia e impacto que tiene el olfato en las enfermedades neurodegenerativas más comunes como son la enfermedad de Alzheimer, la enfermedad de Parkinson y la epilepsia, así como investigaciones recientes en este campo. Keywords: Olfaction, Ageing, Neurodegenerative, Epilepsy, Palabras clave: Olfato, Envejecimiento, Neurodegenerativo, Epilepsia
