Illinois engineers fused ultrafast imaging with smart algorithms to peek at living brain chemistry, turning routine MRIs into metabolic microscopes. The system distinguishes healthy regions, grades ...

Weight loss restored healthy metabolism in both young and mid-aged mice, but the brain told a different story. In mid-aged ...

How strongly does our metabolism influence thinking? This question has been examined by Dr. Philipp Haueis, a philosopher of science at Bielefeld University, in a recent publication in the journal ...

For decades, scientists have known that what harms the body often harms the brain. Conditions such as obesity, high blood pressure and insulin resistance strain the body's vascular and metabolic ...

Taking care of oneself requires a multi-faceted approach: brain, heart, and metabolic health. What research in 2024 has shown us is that improving our health in these areas comes down to three main ...

One reason that chronic pain, mental or physical is consistently solvable is the brain’s property of neuroplasticity. Your brain physically constantly changes based on the nature of the sensory input.
