The effect of olfactory training on olfactory abilities
Mazánek, Daniel ; Třebická Fialová, Jitka (advisor) ; Brothánková, Pavlína (referee)
Almost one fifth of the population experiences olfactory dysfunction. It influences everyday life from socialisation skills to career paths. Existing treatments are usually expensive and with little effect. Recent therapy for olfactory recovery called olfactory training consists of long term periodic sniffing of chosen odourants. This thesis shortly guides the reader through the human olfactory anatomy and the problematics of olfactory dysfunction. It introduces a therapeutic method of olfactory training, its methodology and the effect it has on general olfactory abilities and neuroplasticity. It also provides a critical view of the existing studies as well as implications for the future and discusses the mechanisms behind recovery.
