Olfactory Receptors: Location and Structure01:03

Olfactory Receptors: Location and Structure

The process of olfaction, also known as the sense of smell, is a sophisticated chemical response system. The specialized sensory neurons that facilitate this process, known as olfactory receptor neurons, are situated in an upper segment of the nasal cavity, known as the olfactory epithelium. Olfactory sensory neurons are bipolar, with their dendrites extending from the epithelium's apex into the mucus that lines the nasal cavity. Airborne molecules, when inhaled, traverse the olfactory...
Tactile and Chemical Senses01:27

Tactile and Chemical Senses

Tactile senses encompass touch, temperature, and pain, each mediated by specific receptors. Touch receptors detect mechanical energy or pressure against the skin. Sensory fibers from these receptors enter the spinal cord and relay information to the brain stem. Here, most fibers cross over to the opposite side of the brain. The touch information then moves to the thalamus, which projects a map of the body's surface onto the somatosensory areas of the parietal lobes in the cerebral cortex. This...

Summary

Allergic rhinitis significantly reduces nasal tactile sensitivity. This study found that patients with allergic rhinitis required higher stimulus intensity to detect touch compared to controls.

Area of Science:

  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Immunology
  • Sensory Neuroscience

Background:

  • Allergic rhinitis is a common chronic inflammatory condition affecting the nasal passages.
  • The impact of allergic rhinitis on nasal tactile sensitivity is not well understood.
  • Understanding sensory changes can provide insights into the pathophysiology of allergic rhinitis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effect of allergic rhinitis on nasal tactile sensitivity.
  • To assess tactile sensitivity during the intercritical period of allergic rhinitis.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 70 patients with seasonal outdoor allergen-induced allergic rhinitis (Group A) was compared to a control group (Group B).
  • Nasal tactile sensitivity was evaluated using the Semmes-Weinstein monofilament test in both nasal cavities.
  • The threshold was defined as the minimum monofilament size detected by the patient.

Main Results:

  • Patients with allergic rhinitis (Group A) demonstrated significantly reduced tactile sensitivity compared to controls (Group B).
  • A higher stimulus intensity was required to elicit a touch response in the inferior turbinate (195.1 ± 0.39 mg vs 67.7 ± 0.19 mg) and middle turbinate (108.7 ± 0.23 mg vs 67.7 ± 0.19 mg) in Group A.
  • Statistical significance was established at p < 0.05.

Conclusions:

  • Preliminary findings indicate a decrease in nasal tactile sensitivity in individuals with allergic rhinitis.
  • These results highlight potential alterations in nasal sensory perception associated with chronic inflammation in allergic rhinitis.
