WNK2 and Cognitive impairment: Linalool (which is also present in ZM essential oil) can reduce the cognitive impairment induced by amyloid β, owing to its neuro-protective properties mediated via reducing apoptosis and oxidative stress and anti-inflammatory effects attributed to the blockade of MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinases) and NF-B (nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells) activity (Gunaseelan et al., 2017 ▶).
