Smell loss can be among the earliest signs of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and other neurodegenerative diseases, signaling changes in the brain years before other symptoms are noticeable. Because of the link between smell and brain health, researchers are very interested in understanding more about how people with smell loss go on to either develop a disease or not, and why some people with PD still are able to smell. To learn more about the latest research, tune into audio from this Third Thursdays Webinar and listen to expert panelists discuss the science of smell and what scientists are learning about its connection to disease.
