Background/Objective: Energy balance is preserved through the exchange between body weight and adipose tissue across the multi-faceted complex network that is composed of the sensorial, metabolic, and neuroendocrine circuits. Olfactory control of the process is maintained through the central structures that include the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, together with the interplay between the olfactory bulbus (OB) and adipose tissue. Although the interaction of the ...

Context: Olfactory bulb (OB) and eyeball size change depending on age and puberty. There is well-established trade-off between sensory structures of brain such as eye and olfactory bulb.Objective: The aim of this study is to analyze the potential reciprocal changes between OB and eyeball volumes (EV) in girls with precocious puberty (PP), as a sign of early pubertal onset.Design: A...
