The researchers announced the discovery on Friday.
The study, published in the journal Scientific Reports, shows that viruses and bacteria can bypass the blood barrier by taking a shortcut directly to the brain via the olfactory nerve.
Loss of smell is an early indicator of Alzheimer’s disease, say the researchers, so smell tests could potentially help provide an earlier diagnosis.
