Chemosensory Loss
“We are collectively still recovering from pandemic-induced isolation and altered routines, and suffering from in precedented levels of stress,” said Rachel Herz, Ph.D., neuroscientist and professor at Brown University. “Our sense of smell and taste are integral components of overall wellness. Sensory engagement activates our brain and our body. In particular, the stimulation of smell and taste increases our cognitive, emotional, and physiological functioning and is central to enhancing our well-being, health span and lifespan."The covid pandemic drew attention to tase and smell impairments around the world.
