A new study found that restoring certain signals in the brain region that processes smell can counter depression. The study reported the timing and strength of gamma signals in the olfactory bulb can alter emotions. The findings could provide a potential new approach for countering depression and anxiety when medication is not effective. Researchers caution that further studies are needed to understand the link between firing patterns of gamma waves and emotions.
