Pain is Not Just a Matter of Nerves
Summary: Researchers reveal the role glial cells play in the sensation of pain. Source: Medical University of Vienna. The sensation of pain occurs when neural pathways conduct excitation generated by tissue damage to the spinal cord, where the nociceptive information is extensively pre-processed. From there, the information is transmitted to the human brain, where theContinue reading “Pain is Not Just a Matter of Nerves”
Babies Exposed to Stimulation Get a Brain Boost
Summary: Contrary to popular belief, exposing children to stimuli early can help to boost their development, researchers report. Source: NTNU. Many new parents still think that babies should develop at their own pace, and that they shouldn’t be challenged to do things that they’re not yet ready for. Infants should learn to roll around underContinue reading “Babies Exposed to Stimulation Get a Brain Boost”
A Link Between Gut Bacteria and Neurogenesis: Mouse Study
Summary: According to a new mouse study, antibotics that are strong enough to kill gut bacteria can also halt the growth of hippocampal neurons. Source: Cell Press. Antibiotics strong enough to kill off gut bacteria can also stop the growth of new brain cells in the hippocampus, a section of the brain associated with memory,Continue reading “A Link Between Gut Bacteria and Neurogenesis: Mouse Study”
Low glucose and low stress to go to sleep
There are many factors that will help you go to sleep. There are two most important factors. One is that if you eat (few bites) sugary snacks (couple it with fish oil or omega 3), it should be 6 to 8 hrs before your sleep time. And the other one is that your stress levelContinue reading “Low glucose and low stress to go to sleep”
How Hunger Controlling Neurons Regulate Bone Mass
In an advance that helps clarify the role of a cluster of neurons in the brain, Yale School of Medicine researchers have found that these neurons not only control hunger and appetite, but also regulate bone mass. The study is published Sept. 24 online ahead of print in the journal Cell Reports. “We have foundContinue reading “How Hunger Controlling Neurons Regulate Bone Mass”
