The Activities of Neurons and Arteries in the Human Brain Could Very Much Be Intertwined
The human body is made up of numerous cells which work together to carry out certain functions and produce certain results. Blood, which is also known as the fluid …The Supply of Glucose to the Body during Fasting Is Made Possible by the Effect of Vitamin B2 on the Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Αlpha
During fasting, a lot of energy is expended but not replaced as the body’s coping mechanisms get activated. Glucose, which is mostly derived from carbs, is the main source …Hearing Loss and Epilepsy May Be Early Symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease Study Shows
Epilepsy and hearing loss both appear to be among the earliest signs that someone may develop Parkinson’s disease, according to a British study conducted on a large and diverse …
Alzheimer’s Controversy: Have Scientists Gotten It All Wrong?
Scientists are believed to have made giant strides in research, expanding the frontiers of knowledge on Alzheimer’s disease. However, recent events – perhaps, most notably a bogus study scandal …New Artificial Neurons Push the Frontiers of the Man-Machine Interface
Neurotransmitters are a vital part of neurological science. They are responsible for sending nerve signals across a synapse between two neurons. Brain-machine signaling has gained much use in science. …Study Challenges Established Belief on Neural Control of Motor Units
There is a longstanding belief that the cerebral cortex controls motor units in the spinal cord collectively in a somewhat rigid fashion for voluntary movements to take place. However, …
Researchers Capture What Happens in the Brain during Near-Death Experiences
In a recent study, patients claimed to have had a near-death experience after being resuscitated after a cardiac event. Abnormal spikes in brain activity were observed in the survivors. …
Copenhagen Scientists Make Interesting Discovery on How the Neurons in a Turtle’s Body Work
The nervous system consists of several neurons that control body activities. They are arranged into functional groups called circuits that originate from the brain and spinal cord. The nerve …
