Dr. Metherate

Congratulations to Dr. Eitan Schechtman-Drayman for receiving the Seed Grant Award! His project is titled, "Exploring a novel role for affective brain processing during sleep in shaping mental wellbeing in the face of adversity". The Grant funds innovative basic and translational research projects focusing on brain plasticity, including how experiences may influence the brain and thus contribute to vulnerability to cognitive and mental illness.

UCI neuroscientists have discovered that when fragrances are wafted through the bedrooms of older adults for two hours every night for six months, memories skyrocketed by 226%. The project was conducted through the UCI Center for the Neurobiology of Learning & Memory and involved seven essential oils: rose, orange, eucalyptus, lemon, peppermint, rosemary and lavender, which were used on a test group of men and women aged 60 to 85 without memory impairment. The team’s study appears in Frontiers in Neuroscience. LEARN MORE
