It has always been apparent that some individuals have a better sense of smell than others, but a new study of 37 teens provides the first direct evidence that within each person, smell sensitivity varies over the course of each day.
The pattern, according to the data, tracks with the body's internal day-night cycle, or circadian rhythm. "This finding is very important for olfactory perception science," said Rachel Herz, lead author of the study in Chemical Senses and an adjunct assistant professor of psychiatry and human behavior at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University.
"This hadn't been known before and this is the first clear, direct evidence.
