Right Orbitofrontal Cortex Mediates Conscious Olfactory Perception.
A study examined whether the human orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is a significant locus of olfactory conscious experience. A combination of functional magnetic resonance imaging, peripheral autonomic recordings, and olfactory psychophysics was used to analyze a case of complete anosmia in a patient wi...

A combination of functional magnetic resonance imaging, peripheral autonomic recordings, and olfactory psychophysics was used to analyze a case of complete anosmia in a patient with circumscribed traumatic brain injury to the right OFC. Findings revealed that the patient exhibited robust “blind smell,” as indexed by reliable odor-revoked neural activity in the left OFC and normal autonomic responses to odor hedonics during presentation of stimuli to the left nostril, despite a complete absence of conscious olfaction. The findings underscored the critical role of the right OFC in subserving human olfactory consciousness. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
