Changes in the sense of taste and smell

The senses of taste and smell are closely related. In addition, the parts of the brain that process this information are very close to each other. Therefore, when the sense of taste is altered, also how smells are perceived and vice versa. During a cerebral infarction, the person may come to feel that, suddenly, a meal does not have the same taste or smell as always.
They may also start to dislike dishes that he used to love. It manifests when the damage occurs near the pyriform cortex and the temporal lobe because there are the areas responsible for processing the information received from the nose and taste buds.
