The first node sits in the peripheral nervous system. Sensory neurons in the vagus nerve detect damage in the heart and send signals upward. The researchers focused on a subset of vagal sensory ...
Cancer and Alzheimer's disease are two of the most feared diagnoses in medicine, but they rarely strike the same person.
The study, published in Genomic Psychiatry, identified how stress hormones activate specific RNA molecules called long ...
When the brain rests, it usually replays recent experiences to strengthen memory. Scientists found that in Alzheimer’s-like ...
A heart attack activates stress circuits in the brain that evolved for survival but can amplify inflammation, disrupt healing ...
Researchers have created a targeted compound that blocks an enzyme linked to inflammation in individuals with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s disease, while still maintaining normal brain ...
Images below confirm clinical responses seen in patients with metastatic orbital (eye), temporal (brain), liver, and spine ...
A new study in mice suggests that memory problems in Alzheimer’s disease may stem from a breakdown in how the brain replays recent experiences during periods of rest. The research was carried out by s ...
Machine learning decodes brain signals for paralysis recovery in just one second using sensors placed on scalp not inside ...
How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...
