Description:
Loss of Smell is a disease of the Brain.
The condition in which a person looses the ability to smell is called Loss of Smell.

The Brain controls all the five senses like Touch, Hear, Taste, Smell and Sight. The Olfactory bulb is the part of the brain responsible for the transfer of smell from nose to the brain. If anything goes wrong with the brain or the Olfactory System, it causes Loss of Smell. The loss of smell can be either temporary or permanent depending upon the cause.

What is Olfactory?
Our Nose has special kind of small sensory receptor cells that helps in detecting the different types of odor. The sense of smell is also known as Olfaction. Just above the Nasal cavity there is a special organ known as Olfactory Bulb.

The “Loss of Smell” may be the harbinger of Alzheimer. The body sends signals when something goes wrong with it. The loss of smell may be the earliest of signs of Alzheimer. If you develop loss of smell get yourself checked from a Doctor.
