Pleasant olfactory cues hold promise for helping to curb the urge to smoke in those who are quitting. Exposure to olfactory cues reduced symptoms of cravings, with effects lasting up to five minutes following exposure. from Neuroscience News Updates http://bit.ly/2Un851L

Responsive neurostimulation can remodel neural networks, leaving the brain less susceptible to epileptic seizures. from Neuroscience News Updates http://bit.ly/2UkZTiG

A study of macaque monkeys reveals low-intensity ultrasound can both generate and suppress signalling in the brain and modulate normal function. The ultrasonic stimulation alters counterfactual thinking, allowing the ability to decide upon a better alternative in decision-making tasks. from Neuroscience News Updates http://bit.ly/2ZfnpRK

Neurofeedback training helps reinforce brain patterns associated with motor function while participants complete imaginary motor tasks. The findings may help in the rehabilitation for stroke and other disorders that compromise motor function. from Neuroscience News Updates http://bit.ly/2UZIzEh

NASA scientists have published the results of the Kelly Twin Study, which revealed how the body adapts to life in space, compared to life on Earth. The findings revealed that, in space, telomeres are unexpectedly longer, the immune system responds appropriately, and variability in gene expression alters. from Neuroscience News Updates http://bit.ly/2VIUKlW

A number of patients in intensive care units for non-brain-related illnesses may suffer from cognitive dysfunction. Inflammation that occurs as a result of infection and problems with oxygen flow to the brain which occur when breathing is affected, could contribute to cognitive impairments. from Neuroscience News Updates http://bit.ly/2P7LTb3
