Take a Deep Breath and Improve Your Memory by 226%! UC Irvine research, led by the visionary Dr. Michael Leon, at UC Irvine Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences unveiled a groundbreaking connection between scent stimulation and memory improvement. Leon's studies show a 226% improvement in short-term memory retention in older adults. For those with dementia, results were even more extraordinary. This research is now the basis of the startup Memory Air, a simple, but revolutionary device that offers effortless olfactory enrichment to boost memory and cognitive health. #UCI #dementia #alzheimers #Innovation
