Re: Borel Fields #108508
I note: (1) memory deficits were the highest frequency brain fog symptom in the Mt Sinai data, (2) the hypothalamus is where memory encoding occurs (nearby hippocampus also involved), and (3) anosmia has been asserted to be tied to virus entering the brain via the olfactory nerves.
So, this non-doctor asks whether the olfactory nerves get close to the hypothalamus. Here's what a couple of simple searches said:
"There are extrinsic axonal projections from the olfactory cortex to the orbital cortex, mediodorsal thalamic nucleus, hypothalamus, amygdala, and hippocampus."
"Hypothalamus: Olfactory cortex projects to the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus (#6602) is thought to use olfactory information to affect feeding, reproductive activity, and autonomic reflexes triggered by olfactory signals ("the smell of fear"
. "
Is this sensible or just uninformed?
