Two people of very different ages can have a similar level of biological aging in their brains. Such an occurrence is possible because aging and metabolic health follow two distinct pathways that ...

Brain scans reveal that metabolic health influences brain blood flow independently of age, with stronger cognitive effects in ...

A new open-source model of brain metabolism—the most complex ever generated—has shown how altering key chemicals could restore aged cells to their youthful activity and resilience. The researchers, ...

The benefits of exercise may go beyond just physical health. Researchers studied nearly 3,600 people across two large ...

How strongly does our metabolism influence thinking? This question has been examined by Dr. Philipp Haueis, a philosopher of science at Bielefeld University, in a recent publication in the journal ...

The human brain relies on a tightly regulated interplay between blood supply and metabolic demand to maintain function. Cerebral hemodynamics refers to the mechanisms controlling blood flow through ...

A key mechanism which detects when the brain needs an additional energy boost to support its activity has been identified in a study in mice and cells led by UCL scientists. The scientists say their ...

A new open-source model of brain metabolism, developed by scientists at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), has shown how altering key chemicals could restore aged cells to their youthful ...

By tamping down metabolism, a new experimental treatment that induces a hypothermia-like state may slow stroke-associated ...

The most comprehensive model of the brain’s metabolism, incorporating more than 16,800 biochemical interactions, has identified key targets to reverse the age-related decline in brain function. The ...

A combination of two well-established drugs reduces stroke-related brain damage in mice after sharply lowering the rodents’ ...

What the heart wants, the brain wants too. A nutrient-rich diet is crucial for heart, vascular and brain health, as about 25% of our blood supply goes to our brain. Eating foods high in saturated fats ...
