COLORADO - The smell of natural and various types of foods that can enrich the pleasure one feels. The ability to feel the aroma through the senses of smell turned out to be getting weaker as you age.
The researchers are studying how the sense of smell changes as you age, found that neurons in the olfactory sensors of people aged over 60 years of experience difficulty distinguishing aroma. Decreased ability to smell it puts older people at greater risk of harmful chemicals and nutritional deficiencies.
"We found neurons in the olfactory sensors of people aged 60 years and over experiencing changes in the response," said Professor Diego Restrepo, Ph.D.. D., chairman of the Center for Neuro Science at the School of Medicine, University of Colorado. Similarly, as reported through FuturePundit, Sunday (11/20/2011).
"When we give two distinct aroma in the olfactory neuron sensors younger people, these neurons respond to one or other scents. While the neurons in the olfactory sensor responds to both parents as well as aroma. It will be difficult for parents to distinguish between two kinds of scent," he added.
According to the study, because the aroma and taste are interrelated they lose the ability to distinguish them at risk of malnutrition is greater. So they are difficult to detect contaminated foods toxic gases or vapors. (tyo)
