New optical neural chip technology reveals unexpected dopamine dynamics

DGIST (President Lee Kunwoo) Department of Brain Sciences Professor Lee Kwang and his team have discovered a new correlation between neural signaling in the brain and dopamine signaling in the striatum. The human brain requires fast neural signal processing in a short period of less than a second. Dopamine is known to have the strongest […]

Obesity and high-fat diets linked to accelerated aging in brain blood vessels

A new study conducted in mice traces how obesity and a high-fat diet may accelerate aging in the blood vessels that supply blood to the brain. The work is being presented this week at the American Physiology Summit, the flagship annual meeting of the American Physiological Society (APS), in Long Beach, California.  The findings suggest […]

MIT researchers develop new test for ventricular assist device suitability

Every year, around 50,000 people in the United States experience cardiogenic shock -; a life-threatening condition, usually caused by a severe heart attack, in which the heart can’t pump enough blood for the body’s needs. Many of these patients end up receiving help from a mechanical pump that can temporarily help the heart pump blood […]

Brain peptide identified as key player in heavy alcohol drinking

Alcohol is the most common addictive substance in the world. Every year in the U.S. excessive alcohol use costs $249 billion and causes approximately 88,000 deaths, as well as various chronic diseases and social issues. Alcohol use disorder, a highly prevalent, chronic, relapsing disorder, affects more than 14 million people in the U.S. alone, in […]

How meal timing tunes your liver’s circadian rhythm

The circadian clock is fundamental to healthy metabolism and is determined by a central pacemaker in the brain. Peripheral clocks are found in almost all organs and are set to the central clock by various signals. A new study published in Nature Communications reports on one pathway that synchronizes the liver clock to the central […]

Cadmium exposure disrupts placental hormones, harming fetal development

As with many toxins, exposure to the toxic metal cadmium during pregnancy can adversely impact fetal development. Now, researchers at the Rutgers School of Public Health think they’re beginning to understand how the metal inflicts its damage: by disrupting placental hormones that regulate pregnancy physiology. Unlike other toxins, relatively little cadmium crosses the placenta to […]
