Gut Microbe Movements Regulate Host Circadian Rhythms
Summary: Study exposes a new dynamic between the mammalian organism and the microbes that live inside their gut. Source: Cell Press. Even gut microbes have a routine. Like clockwork, they start their day in one part of the intestinal lining, move a few micrometers to the left, maybe the right, and then return to theirContinue reading “Gut Microbe Movements Regulate Host Circadian Rhythms”
Behavior, brain SPECT scan, hormones, gratitude, neuroplasticity
Neuroplasticity, also known as brain plasticity, is an umbrella term that describes lasting change to the brain throughout an individual’s life course. The term gained prominence in the latter half of the 20th century, when new research[1] showed many aspects of the brain remain changeable (or “plastic”) even into adulthood.[2] This notion contrasts with theContinue reading “Behavior, brain SPECT scan, hormones, gratitude, neuroplasticity”
Altering Gut Flora Could Reduce Stroke Risk
Changing the profile of the bacteria in the gut led to a reduction in stroke size, a new study in mice suggests. “This was a proof-of-concept study,” study author Costantino Iadecola, MD, Weill Cornell Medical College, New York, New York, told Medscape Medical News. “We have demonstrated two important principles: that changes to the microfloraContinue reading “Altering Gut Flora Could Reduce Stroke Risk”

Testicles Of Yogurt-Eating Mice Shown Bigger, And Researchers Credit Probiotics
Last summer a team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology set out to better understand the effects of yogurt on obesity. They were following up on the results of a long-term study from the Harvard School of Public Health that had suggested yogurt, more than any other food, helped to prevent age-related weightContinue reading “Testicles Of Yogurt-Eating Mice Shown Bigger, And Researchers Credit Probiotics”
