Olfactory dysfunction with traumatic brain injury and posttraumatic-stress symptoms in post-deployed military personnel
Olfactory identification was significantly reduced in those with a history of TBI, suggesting that olfaction may be useful in the assessment of these individuals for potential treatment needs. Veterans with significant PTSD symptoms, however, did not display different olfactory ability compared with those without, regardless of TBI status.
