Faster olfactory adaptation in patients with olfactory deficits: an analysis of results from odor threshold testing.

CONCLUSION: People with poor olfaction seem to adapt faster to olfactory stimuli. The trajectory of turning points in odor threshold test may serve as an indicator of olfactory adaptation and function of olfactory receptors. Olfactory adaptation may provide a new tool in the assessment of subtle olfactory loss.
