With microplastics now permeating our food and our bodies, researchers are keen to assess the potential damage these tiny fragments could be doing. A new study shows how plastics may lead to dangerous ...

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 ...

STAT Health calls the human ear a “biometric gold mine.” The startup, which emerged out of stealth this morning, is talking specifically about cerebral blood flow (CBF). That’s pretty much what it ...

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' ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
