摘要

Dementia, particularly Alzheimer’s disease (AD), poses a significant burden on global healthcare systems. Recent findings suggest that olfactory stimulation or enrichment can modulate brain structure and function, especially in regions associated with memory and cognition. Given the early involvement of the olfactory system in neurodegenerative diseases, structured olfactory stimulation may serve as a simple, non-invasive strategy to delay cognitive decline. This brief communication summarizes emerging evidence on the role of olfactory enrichment in enhancing cognitive performance and discusses its implications for dementia management and research.
