A new study published in Nature Neuroscience has identified a brain circuit in mice that overrides basic needs like hunger or social contact in favor of seeking safety. Researchers found that a ...

Scientists have found out exactly how an exercise-triggered molecule suppresses hunger signals in the brain, leading to ...

Researchers have shown that the balance of bacteria in the gut can influence symptoms of hypopituitarism in mice. They also showed that aspirin was able to improve hormone deficiency symptoms in mice ...

Mice bred in a germ-free environment were compared to those bred in an environment colonized with germs, and the latter were ...

A study discovered a circuit in the brain that connects stress with increased glucose and therefore may link stress to type 2 ...

When faced with danger, animals have to react fast. Heart rates climb, muscles tense, and the body prepares to fight or flee.

Researchers have shown that astrocytes in the lateral hypothalamus play a pivotal role in how stress shapes behavior, particularly after early-life adversity.

Research carried out on mice has revealed how a hormone released by the intestine acts on the brain and helps regulate the body's energy expenditure. FGF19 (fibroblast growth factor 19) activates ...
