Your stomach might be talking to your brain more than you think. Scientists are finding a strong link between what happens in your gut microbiome and how your brain works. Researchers are increasingly focused on how this link contributes to neurological disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. These are progressive diseases that gradually impair brain function….
Imagine our brains and nerves like a complex network. When something goes wrong, like after an injury or with certain illnesses, this network can get damaged. That’s where stem cells come in. They’re like blank slate cells that can turn into different kinds of cells, including the ones we need for our nervous system. Scientists…
In medicine and research, understanding genetic mutations is essential. Research helps doctors better understand specific aspects of a patient’s condition. Epigenetics has revolutionized our understanding of how genes interact with the environment. Unlike traditional mutations, epigenetic mechanisms regulate genes without changing the genetic code. Memory formation and cognitive functions depend on epigenetics. Our brain is…
Recent research has shown us better ways to care for our health. When our brain functions well, we can think and operate properly. Brain plasticity directly depends on environmental influences and other factors. Exercise and proper nutrition play an essential role in maintaining health. For neuroplasticity, a healthy diet is key to a good outcome….
