University of Florida researchers find that peanut butter test can help diagnose Alzheimers disease.
Jennifer Stamps, a graduate student in the UF McKnight Brain Institute Center for Smell and Taste, and her colleagues reported the findings of a small pilot study in the Journal of the Neurological Sciences.
Patients with Alzheimers were less sensitive to the smell of peanut butter in their left nostril than their right one.
