Researchers identified in mice a microbiome–gut–brain pathway in which age-associated changes in gut microbes increase medium-chain fatty acids that impair vagal sensory signaling and hippocampal ...

Voluntary exercise reshapes gut microbiota and tryptophan metabolism, with consequences for the hippocampus, the ...

Something happens when a rat starts running. Not just the obvious things, the faster heart, the warming muscles, the rhythmic percussion of paws against the wheel. Something quieter. Something that ...

What Is the Limbic System? The limbic system is a part of the brain consisting of several components such as the hippocampus and amygdala and serving many functions within the body. While we have a ...

In a recent study published in Neuronal Psychiatry, researchers explored the molecular and cellular processes regulated by tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP2) in the extracellular matrix ...

Scientists at USC have unveiled an artificial hippocampus and are planning experiments to determine if it can help replace function in damaged hippocampal tissue. The hippocampus is involved in ...
