Scientists found that inhaling menthol can improve cognitive abilities and reduce brain damage in mice with Alzheimer's disease, suggesting potential for smell-based therapies in neurodegenerative diseases, though more research is needed in humans.

A study suggests that familiar scents could help people with depression recall specific memories, potentially aiding in emotional regulation and problem-solving. The research found that participants with depression were better able to recall specific memories when exposed to familiar scents compared to hearing words corresponding to those smells. There is a well-established link between losing one's sense of smell and depression, with reduced smell ability associated with poor quality of life and increased risk of depressive symptoms. Smell therapy is being studied as a means to treat depression, with the potential to help individuals tap into positive emotions by associating specific scents with positive memories.
