Intermittent energy restriction (IER) changes the gut-brain-microbiome axis, influencing brain activity linked to hunger and food habits. This leads to weight loss and significant metabolic improvements in overweight adults, highlighting a complex biological interaction.
A study found no widespread brain inflammation in long COVID patients. Instead, increased activity in mood/emotion areas correlated with severe symptoms, suggesting new treatment approaches.
The Oura Ring 5 is here, starting at $399 with a $6/month subscription. Smaller and smarter, it boasts enhanced health tracking for blood pressure, breathing, and GLP-1 insights. Pre-order now for June 4, 2026 shipping, requiring a new sizing kit.
USC scientists identified compounds that target cPLA2, an enzyme linked to Alzheimer's inflammation, especially in APOE4 gene carriers. This offers a potential new therapeutic approach for the disease.
New research reveals that dementia risk factors affect women's cognition more significantly than men's. Tailoring interventions based on these sex-specific impacts could improve prevention efforts.
Luxury resorts offer specialized packages for vagus nerve toning, a technique to manage the nervous system for better organ function and stress reduction. While costly, these retreats can initiate a wellness journey.
A new Harvard study and experts highlight how diet, especially plant-based foods that target insulin resistance, can prevent menopausal weight gain and the dreaded "menobelly," despite natural metabolic changes in middle-aged women.
Infrasound, below human hearing, triggers stress hormone (cortisol) increase and irritability without conscious detection. This low-frequency vibration, common in everyday environments, may explain unexplained unease in old buildings.
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for a broader approach to suicide prevention, shifting focus from crisis intervention to upstream policies that provide people with reasons to live. This includes addressing economic hardship and fostering community connections.
Researchers discovered that boosting Sox9 expression empowers astrocytes to vacuum up amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's mouse models, preserving memory. This novel approach focuses on enhancing the brain's natural plaque-clearing mechanism, offering a potential new treatment strategy for neurodegenerative diseases.
Zuri Sullivan's work reveals the brain-immune axis, challenging sickness behaviors as mere side effects. Instead, they're part of an integrated defense, impacting neurological health & chronic conditions like Long COVID, opening new treatment avenues.
NYC faces a growing tick and insect threat, including alpha-gal syndrome and mosquito-borne diseases. Warming climate extends tick seasons, while abundant host animals fuel populations. Parks are heavily infested.
New SNAP work rules threaten benefits for 'able-bodied adults' in West Virginia and other poor states. Facing rural poverty, job scarcity, and transport barriers, many struggle to comply, with research showing the rules worsen food insecurity and don't boost employment.
This text explores extreme "looksmaxxing" trends, from "bonesmashing" to meth use, detailing severe health risks like paralysis, scarring, and permanent disfigurement, contrasting them with safe self-care.
Researchers developed a flexible plastic film with nanopillars that physically destroy viruses on contact. This mechanical approach disables about 94% of virus particles within an hour, offering a scalable, chemical-free alternative for high-touch surfaces.
Researchers identify the LypABC system used by bacteria to release gene transfer agents. This discovery explains how ancient viral components are repurposed to spread antibiotic resistance across microbial populations.
Recent studies reveal that autism and ADHD share common brain connectivity and gene expression patterns. Researchers emphasize focusing on symptom severity rather than labels for a better understanding of neurodevelopment.
