Olfaction and respiration: from the perception of odors to the treatment of apneas in the premature newborn

Key Points

• Improved understanding of olfaction can enhance treatments for respiratory issues.
• Olfactory cues significantly influence respiratory patterns in newborns.
• Assessment through observational analysis highlights the connection between odors and respiratory function.
• Findings may enable innovative treatments for apnea in premature infants.
