A study in mice concluded that memory problems associated with age may be driven by our gut microbiome and that the vagus ...

Voluntary exercise reshapes gut microbiota and tryptophan metabolism, with consequences for the hippocampus, the ...

Researchers identified in mice a microbiome–gut–brain pathway in which age-associated changes in gut microbes increase medium-chain fatty acids that impair vagal sensory signaling and hippocampal ...

Something happens when a rat starts running. Not just the obvious things, the faster heart, the warming muscles, the rhythmic percussion of paws against the wheel. Something quieter. Something that ...

Studying the minds of octogenarians with surprising cognitive resilience shows how it's possible to maintain a youthful brain ...

As mice age, changes in the microorganisms in their guts contribute to cognitive decline by altering signalling between the gut and brain.

What Is the Limbic System? The limbic system is a part of the brain consisting of several components such as the hippocampus and amygdala and serving many functions within the body. While we have a ...

In a recent study published in Neuronal Psychiatry, researchers explored the molecular and cellular processes regulated by tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP2) in the extracellular matrix ...

A new study has revealed that neural inhibition and balanced neural activity in a specific area of the brain is required for recognition memory. The findings could help provide better understanding of ...

Scientists at USC have unveiled an artificial hippocampus and are planning experiments to determine if it can help replace function in damaged hippocampal tissue. The hippocampus is involved in ...
