Patients with parosmia respond faster to unpleasant odors than patients with hyposmia: Insights from olfactory event ‐related potentials
ConclusionOverall, the present findings support the idea that parosmia predominantly occurs during olfactory recovery, significantly disturbing patients and warranting the development of effective treatments. Notably, the relatively faster responses of hyposmic patients with severe parosmia suggest that the generation of distorted olfactory responses may involve early stages of the processing of olfactory information.
