Abstract

Roberts' "zeolite hypothesis" of Alzheimer's disease rests in part on evidence of olfactory deficits in this disorder. This commentary reviews this evidence and selected evidence for deficits in related disorders and normal aging, stressing gaps in knowledge and problems in assessment. We conclude that olfactory identification is most likely impaired in AD, but that other olfactory functions are poorly characterized at present.
