TL;DR Summary

A study conducted by neuroscientists from the University of California, Irvine (UCI) found that exposing senior citizens to specific scents nightly resulted in a 226% increase in cognitive capacity compared to a control group. The research highlights the strong connection between smell and memory and suggests a potential tool against dementia. The study involved participants aged 60 to 85 without memory impairment, who used a diffuser with different natural oils activated for two hours as they slept. The findings offer a non-invasive technique for strengthening memory and potentially deterring cognitive decline. A related product based on the study is expected to launch this fall.
