Several important neurological diseases can impair the sense of smell. In the past the substances generally used for testing were not well defined, and the testing procedures did not follow the rules of psychophysical test procedures. Therefore, in this paper standardized new methods of testing the olfactory system are presented. Based on published data, the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test is the most suitable test for screening purposes. More detailed information can be obtained when using the Connecticut Chemosensory Clinical Research Center's Odor Identification Test that includes the possibility of determining the olfactory threshold. Additionally, a new method that combines the testing of olfactory threshold, odor discrimination and odor identification with the recording of specific olfactory-evoked potentials is described. The latter test is especially useful when objective neurophysiological data are requested.
几种重要的神经系统疾病会损害嗅觉。过去，用于测试的物质通常定义不明确，测试程序也未遵循心理物理学测试程序的规则。因此，本文提出了标准化的嗅觉系统测试新方法。根据已发表的数据，宾夕法尼亚大学嗅觉识别测试是最适合用于筛查目的的测试。使用康涅狄格化学感觉临床研究中心的气味识别测试可以获得更详细的信息，该测试包括确定嗅觉阈值的可能性。此外，还描述了一种将嗅觉阈值测试、气味辨别和气味识别与特定嗅觉诱发电位记录相结合的新方法。当需要客观的神经生理学数据时，后一种测试特别有用。
