Abstract

The article offers information on a study which examines the pathology and olfactory impairment in neurodegenerative disorders with brain iron accumulation (NBIA). It examines an olfactory tissue from NBIA patients and a mouse model for iron deposition. It shows that hyposmia in NBIA is associated with ferritin and iron deposition in the olfactory system.
