Psychosis: Pathophysiology of Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders01:27

Psychosis: Pathophysiology of Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders

413
Schizophrenia is a neurodevelopmental disorder whose origins are rooted in complex genetic components. Despite our burgeoning understanding, the pathophysiology of this disorder remains incompletely deciphered.
Researchers have identified genetic factors that increase susceptibility to schizophrenia, underscoring the intricate interplay between genetics and environment in disease development. At the core of schizophrenia's pathophysiology is excessive dopaminergic neurotransmission within...

Olfactory Receptors: Location and Structure

8.7K
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...

Parkinson's Disease: Overview

456
Neurodegenerative disorders are progressive diseases that cause irreversible damage and loss to neurons in specific brain areas. Examples of these disorders include Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). These disorders share characteristics such as proteinopathies, selective neuronal vulnerability, and a complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors. The primary therapeutic goal for these conditions is...

Physiology of Smell and Olfactory Pathway01:20

Physiology of Smell and Olfactory Pathway

7.9K
Humans detect odors with the help of specialized cells located in the upper part of the nasal cavity, called olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs). ORNs possess hair-like structures called cilia, which are receptive to sensations from the inhaled air. When an odorant molecule binds to a specific receptor on the cell of the cilia, it leads to a series of events that ultimately cause the ORN to send electrical signals to the olfactory bulb in the brain through the olfactory nerves.
The olfactory...

Hearing

When we hear a sound, our nervous system is detecting sound waves—pressure waves of mechanical energy traveling through a medium. The frequency of the wave is perceived as pitch, while the amplitude is perceived as loudness.

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management01:20

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management

346
Asthma is a chronic pulmonary condition involving inflammation of the airways, hyper-reactivity, and reversible obstruction of the airways. This condition can significantly impact a person's quality of life, making breathing difficult and leading to distressing symptoms.
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.

Area of Science:

  • Olfactory dysfunction
  • Neurology
  • COVID-19 research

Background:

  • Parosmia is a qualitative olfactory disorder characterized by a distorted perception of odors.
  • It has seen increased research interest following the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Current understanding involves peripheral or central hypotheses regarding olfactory processing.
  • Parosmia often follows viral-induced anosmia and can impact quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent clinical findings in parosmia.
  • To summarize current theories on the pathophysiology of parosmia.
  • To discuss potential treatment options for this olfactory disorder.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent publications on parosmia.
  • Synthesis of clinical observations and research findings.
  • Analysis of proposed pathophysiological models.

Main Results:

  • Parosmia involves a mismatch between odor memory and experience.
  • Studies suggest molecular triggers and altered brain connectivity.
  • The condition typically improves over time but lacks standardized diagnostic and treatment protocols.
  • Significant quality of life issues can arise from parosmia.

Conclusions:

  • Parosmia is a complex olfactory disorder with increasing prevalence.
  • Further research is needed for objective diagnosis and effective treatments.
  • Understanding pathophysiology is key to developing targeted therapies for parosmia.
