Measuring Your Sense Of Smell - KCBD NewsChannel 11 Lubbock

The loss of smell has been associated with Alzheimer's, but how do you measure your smeller?

Well, at the University of Pennsylvania, researchers think they've found a way to do that by checking levels of a protein called tau. They say the more tau you have, the worse your sense of smell.

So, researchers are hopeful this could someday lead to a way to test for Alzheimer's disease in its earliest stages.
