Scientists have discovered that blood flow helps direct the movement of newly formed neurons in the adult brain, revealing a surprising link between circulation and brain cell migration.

Measuring blood flow in the brain is critical for responding to a range of neurological problems, including stroke, traumatic ...

A study shows how newly created neurons depend on blood flow to travel to their final location in the adult brain, paving the way for future research on blood flow-dependent cell migration which may ...

All day long, our brains carry out complicated and energy-intensive tasks such as remembering, solving problems, and making decisions. To supply the energy these tasks require while conserving this ...

Researchers have uncovered a potential route to developing the first ever drug treatments for vascular dementia that directly target a cause of the condition. The research has shed light on how high ...

New University of Virginia School of Medicine research suggests an unexpected way doctors may be able to improve blood flow to the brain to battle Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases.

Researchers have discovered how newly created neurons depend on blood flow in the adult brain to travel from their site of ...

This fundamental work provides novel insights into the blood flow-dependent mechanisms of neuronal migration and the role of Ghrelin signaling in the adult brain. The authors present convincing ...

Researchers have, for the first time, visualized the full network of blood vessels across the cortex of awake mice, finding that blood vessels rhythmically expand and contract leading to 'waves' ...

A wearable ultrasound patch could soon be saving lives, by monitoring the blood flow in hospital patients' brains. The device is only about the size of a postage stamp plus it works continuously, ...

Microplastics in the bloodstream may cause blockages the brain and affect our brain functioning and behavior, according to recent research. Environmental biologists tested the effects of microplastics ...

As much as half of the global population has trouble sleeping; however, proper sleep is vital for good overall health. While using caffeine for energy during the day can help, it may lead to further ...
