Previously, it was thought that glial cells, which support neuronal activity, metabolize most of the glucose in the brain. However, by using induced pluripotent stem cells, the researchers found that neurons were able to take up glucose and process it into smaller metabolites. ...
For the 20 µm experiment with mouse postnatal day 21 (P21) brain and human tonsil, we obtained a median of 7,647 (brain) and 14,939 (tonsil) unique fragments per pixel of which 18% of fragments fell within the TSS regions, and 24% (brain) and 14% (tonsil) were in peaks. ...
Humans are inherently social beings who thrive on making and maintaining social relationships. Connecting with and supporting one another forms deep bonds that make us feel seen, valued, and like we belong. These social interactions are not only important for our emotional well-being but also for our physical well-being-maybe even more so than originally thought. Loneliness, an increasingly ...
In this clinical study, transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS), which is a new technique to deliver non-invasive brain stimulation via afferent fibers of the vagus nerve, was provided to eighty healthy volunteers who were then assessed for creative performance. ...
Particulate matter is small enough to be absorbed into the bloodstream, and even travels along the axons of the olfactory and trigeminal nerves into the central nervous system (CNS), where it can become embedded deep within the brain stem. This, in turn, can cause inflammation of the CNS, cortical stress, and cerebrovascular damage. ...
