The brain resorts to myelin when other brain nutrients are depletedThis link opens in a new windowApr 10, 2025
Marathon runners experience reversible changes in their brain myelin. These findings indicate that myelin (a substance that surrounds the neurons) exhibits behavior that was previously unknown, and that it contributes towards the brain's energy metabolism when other sources of energy are running low. Understanding how myelin in the runners recovers quickly may provide clues for developing treatments for demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis.
How mothers adapt to the metabolic demands of nursingThis link opens in a new windowApr 10, 2025
Nursing poses major metabolic demands on mothers, to which they respond by eating more and saving energy to sustain milk production. There are significant hormonal changes during lactation, but how they lead to metabolic adaptations in nursing mothers remained unclear. Medical researchers uncovered a mechanism that connects prolactin, estrogen, the brain and metabolic adaptations during lactation.
Key brain networks behind post-stroke urinary incontinence identifiedThis link opens in a new windowApr 10, 2025
A new study using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) reveals the neural mechanisms that contribute to urinary incontinence, a common condition affecting stroke survivors that has a significant impact on their quality of life. The research was conducted by a multidisciplinary team of urologists, neurosurgeons, and imaging experts. The study utilized an innovative method of repeated bladder filling and voiding while participants were inside the MRI, during which their brain function was measured.
AI models of the brain could serve as 'digital twins' in researchThis link opens in a new windowApr 9, 2025
In a new study, researchers created an AI model of the mouse visual cortex that predicts neuronal responses to visual images.
