Clinical Interests
Clinic for smell, taste and oral pain has been started by Singh at the faculty of dentistry, University of Oslo. Patients with chemosensory (smell and taste), trigeminal (burning mouth) and salivary (dry mouth) dysfunctions are referred here for evaluation and treatment.
Address: Geitmyrsveien71, 0455, Oslo. Tel: 22852093
Academic Interests
The overarching goal of Bano Singh's research is:
- to explore the occurrence of smell, taste and trigeminal disturbances in different patient groups as well as in the general population.
- to determine the neural and behavioral function of the olfactory, gustatory and trigeminal system and to interpret our environment in health and disease.
- to evaluate, diagnose and treat patients with smell, taste and trigeminal dysfunction.
To answer these issues, Bano Singh's group conducts several different research studies using a wide range of methods, including psychophysical and behavioral tests, functional brain imaging (fMRI), structural brain imaging, and clinical studies.
