Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Sensory Physiology

Context:

  • Olfactory function assessment is crucial for diagnosing neurological and sensory disorders.
  • Current methods for evaluating olfaction can be subjective or invasive.
  • Objective electrophysiological measures are needed to complement existing olfactory tests.

Purpose:

  • To investigate olfactory evoked potentials (OEPs) generated by electrical stimulation of the olfactory mucosa in rabbits.
  • To establish OEPs as an objective method for appraising olfactory function.

Summary:

  • Electrical stimulation of the olfactory mucosa in adult rabbits produced stable, triphasic negative-positive-negative olfactory evoked potentials (OEPs) recorded at the headtop.
  • Latent periods for the N(1), P(1), and N(2) waves were recorded at 20.6 ms, 33.5 ms, and 58.3 ms, respectively.
