Metabolic brain boost revives memory in Alzheimer’s mice : Shots - Health News An experimental cancer drug that helps the brain turn glucose into energy was able to reverse memory loss in a ...

However, by removing brain cells called Astrocytes, scientists found they could starve out glioblastoma tumors in mice. Further, the tumors remained gone for as long as the astrocytes were repressed.

For the first time, however, experts succeeded in visually tracking the movement of microplastics through brain blood vessels in mice—and the pile-ups resembled a microscopic “car crash.” ...

When mice encounter an unfamiliar food, neurons in a brain region called the amygdala light up (blue). If the mice start feeling sick after the meal, the same neurons get reinforced to help the ...

It doesn't matter how full you are, you can always fit in a bite or two or three of pie and ice cream. Scientists say it has to due with special neurons in our brain that just can't get enough sugar.

By tracking microplastics in the brains of mice, the team found they damaged the brain’s immune cells. These protective cells accumulated microplastics, instead of digesting them, and then the damaged ...

In addition to improving memory in the aged mice, the lymphatic vessel-boosting treatment also caused levels of IL-6 to drop, restoring the noise-canceling system of the brain.
