A new, body-wide tissue has been discovered that may provide a new pathway for the gut-brain axis. Surprisingly, it may help ...

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), an optical imaging tool for monitoring of regional blood flow and tissue oxygenation, is being explored as a way to track the brain's response to acute ...

When a person goes into deep sleep, waterlike fluid circulates around the brain, washing away metabolic waste that is linked ...

The brain is perhaps the most sensitive organ with respect to changes in blood flow and oxygen supply. Even brief interruptions in capillary flow (or "stalling") can indicate acute neurological issues ...

A major international study has uncovered a new biological clue that could help predict dementia long before memory problems arise. Researchers from the University of Cambridge and Zhejiang University ...
