Declining Menin in the hypothalamus sparks inflammation and accelerates aging. Boosting Menin or supplementing with D-serine can restore memory, learning, and even physical vitality in older mice.

New research maps the brain circuit linking sleep, growth hormone, and alertness, offering insights into sleep disorders and ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute (Duncan NRI) at Texas ...

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

Canadian researchers show that stress modifies the morphology of brain cells in mice, directly influencing the rodents' level ...

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 ...

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

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

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 ...
