Healthy brain function relies on a steady supply of blood. Disruptions in blood flow are linked to major neurological conditions like stroke, Alzheimer's disease (AD), and traumatic brain injuries.

Hypertension begins harming the brain surprisingly early, even before measurable blood pressure increases. Key cells related to blood vessels, signaling, and myelin maintenance begin aging prematurely ...

For the first time, scientists have used real-time imaging to track tiny pieces of microplastics as they moved through the brain blood vessels of mice. In experiments, the international team of ...

Increasing the levels of a particular phospholipid in the membranes of brain cells may offer a promising new way to improve blood circulation in the brain and support healthier brain activity. A poten ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Microplastics are everywhere, both across nature and inside our ...

Blood vessels are more than just pathways for oxygen and nutrients; they also host communicative processes that guide brain development and sustain its function. These vascular-neuronal interfaces are ...

A new study reveals that fragmented sleep causes cellular damage to the brain's blood vessels, providing further evidence to suggest that sleep disruption predisposes the brain to dementia. "We found ...

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 ...

Reduced levels of a critical protein are linked to devastating brain diseases like Alzheimer's, frontotemporal dementia, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Surprisingly, the protein shortage ...

When military personnel fire certain powerful weapons, they are exposed to a blast wave that sends blood surging from the body to the brain. This “tsunami in the body” is one way a blast can injure ...
