Our understanding of the neural mechanism of human olfaction is still equivocal. Several recent reports document that functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has a potential to visualize dynamic brain function in humans without invasion. In the present study, we applied functional MRI with odor stimulation for the purpose of clarifying the localization of olfactory cortices in the human. We obtained a significant increase in cerebral blood flow in the piriform cortex, orbitofrontal cortex, and inferior medial frontal lobe, corresponding to olfactory cortices. These results suggest that, in the near future, precise diagnosis of the patients with olfactory disorders will be possible using functional MRI with odor stimulation.
