Serotonin linked to somatic awareness
Patients with heightened somatic awareness often experience unexplained symptoms -- headaches, sore joints, nausea, constipation or itchy skin -- that cause emotional distress, and are twice as likely to develop chronic pain.
The condition is associated with illnesses such as fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis and temporomandibular disorders, and is thought to
The brain consumes half of a child's energy -- and that could matter for weight gain: New paper proposes that variation in brain energy expenditure during childhood could be linked to obesity risk
we have no idea how much the brain's energy expenditure varies between kids. This is a huge hole in our understanding of energy expenditure.
Processed foods and effect on developing fetus' brain: Autism link?
Saleh Naser, Latifa Abdelli and UCF undergraduate research assistant Aseela Samsam have identified the molecular changes that happen when neural stem cells are exposed to high levels of an acid commonly found in processed foods.
Gut microbes eat our medication
Even more crucial are the reactions that happen after the plates are clean.
The brain consumes half of a child's energy -- and that could matter for weight gain: New paper proposes that variation in brain energy expenditure during childhood could be linked to obesity risk
In a new paper published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), "A hypothesis linking the energy demand of the brain to obesity risk," co-authors Christopher Kuzawa of Northwestern University and Clancy Blair of New York University School of Medicine, propose that variation in the energy
CRISPR baby mutation significantly increases mortality: Two copies of mutated CCR5 gene associated with lower survivability
The researchers scanned more than 400,000 genomes and associated health records contained in a British database, UK Biobank, and found that people who had two mutated copies of the gene had a significantly higher death rate between ages 41 and 78 than those with one or no copies. Previous
Ultimate destiny: How undifferentiated cells commit to their biological fate
This complexity, however, belies the fact that each of the trillions of highly specialized cells start out as a single primordial cell.
Brain anatomy links cognitive and perceptual symptoms in autism
Mental inflexibility is a hallmark symptom of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).This is best seen in restricted and repetitive behaviors, which are required for an ASD diagnosis..
Viruses found to use intricate 'treadmill' to move cargo across bacterial cells: State-of-the-art technologies reveal bacterial cells organized like human cells, offering insights for new phage therapies on untreatable infections
Now, using advanced technologies to explore the inner workings of bacteria in unprecedented detail, biologists at the University of California San Diego have discovered that in fact bacteria have more in common with sophisticated human cells than previously known. Publishing their work June 13 in the journal Cell, UC San
Two hours a week is key dose of nature for health and wellbeing
Research led by the University of Exeter, published in Scientific Reports and funded by NIHR, found that people who spend at least 120 minutes in nature a week are significantly more likely to report good health and higher psychological wellbeing than those who don't visit nature at all during an
New evidence links ultra-processed foods with a range of health risks: Policies that limit ultra-processed food intake are urgently needed, say researchers
The researchers say further work is needed to better understand these effects, and a direct (causal) link remains to be established, but they call for policies that promote consumption of fresh or minimally processed foods over highly processed foods. Ultra-processed foods include packaged baked goods and snacks, fizzy drinks, sugary
Translation of genes more complex than expected
From gene to protein Each cell in our body contains the same DNA, yet different cells, like brain cells or muscle cells, have different functions..
