University of Chicago Medicine finds that sudden loss of smell caused by COVID-19 is as significant a risk factor for the Alzheimer's gene as carrying the APOE-E4 gene itself. The study also revealed a physical connection between the nose and the brain, leading to the buildup of protein tangles and plaque that can cause neurological blockages.

Summary
Research conducted by the University of Chicago Medicine has found a strong link between sudden loss of smell and Alzheimer's disease. This link is due to the blockage of neurological pathways from plaque building up in the brain, which also ties into the physical connection between the nose and the brain.
