Abstract

Growing evidence implicates the bacterial populations in the nose as an important factor for personal and global health. Here, we provide a brief overview of the nasal microbiome and speculate on its potential roles in olfactory processing and neurodegeneration, with a particular focus on Parkinson's disease (PD).

Keywords: Parkinson's disease; microbiota; neuroinflammation; olfaction.
