Long-lasting effects of lavender exposure on brain resting-state networks in healthy women by Ron Kupers, Ron Kupers, Océane Dousteyssier, Jérôme Delforge, Vanessa Gonnot, Kevin Kantono, Bernard Blerot, Arnaud Pêtre, Laurence Dricot, Armin Heinecke, Armin Heinecke

“…In this study, we utilized resting-state fMRI (rsfMRI) to investigate the effects of prolonged odor exposure to lavender on brain activity and whether these persist post-exposure.MethodsFourteen healthy women underwent two fMRI sessions, conducted one week apart, in a randomized order. Both sessions included rsfMRI scans before, during, and up to 2 h after a 14 min exposure to either lavender essential oil or a non-odorant control.ResultsAn Independent Component Analysis identified the salience network (SAL) and default mode network (DMN) as the most consistent resting-state networks. …”
