Aug. 15, 2021 New research explains how the nervous system in the gut, known as the enteric nervous system (ENS) causes propulsion along the gut, highlighting how similar it behaves to other neural networks in the ...
June 22, 2022 Breathing in polluted air could lead to toxic particles being transported from lungs to brain, via the bloodstream -- potentially contributing to brain disorders and neurological damage, a new study ...
Mar. 16, 2022 Some 'hypervirulent' strains of Listeria monocytogenes have a greater capacity to infect the central nervous system. Scientists have discovered a mechanism that enables cells infected with ...
Dec. 28, 2021 Recent studies have shown variation in the gene-expression profile and phenotype of microglia across brain regions and between different age and disease states. But the molecular mechanisms that ...
Oct. 27, 2022 Study pinpoints the cluster of neurons that tell mice to eat, drink, and move around less when they're fighting bacterial ...
Sep. 20, 2022 Researchers have found regions in the woodpecker forebrain that show characteristics that until now have only been associated with vocal learning in animals and language in humans. The study shows ...
Apr. 4, 2022 What happens when we smell a rose? How does our brain process the essence of its fragrance? Is it like a painting -- a snapshot of the flickering activity of cells -- captured in a moment in time? Or ...
Mar. 23, 2022 New research has discovered how the enteric nervous system -- or 'second brain' -- can communicate with both the brain and spinal cord, which up until now had remained a major mystery. The ...
Dec. 13, 2021 If there is an injury to the central nervous system such as after a stroke, the brain needs to compensate for this by reorganising itself. To do this, a dense network of molecules between the nerve ...
Aug. 10, 2021 Hormones released after a brain injury contribute to movement problems on the left and right sides of the body, scientists from Uppsala University and elsewhere can now show in a new study in rats. ...
