Seminars in NeuroscienceHow does the hypothalamus respond to stress? Neurosciences, 6 (1994), 215-219 MACFARLANE, M.S.; BREEN, K.M.; SAKURAI, H.; ADAMS, B.M.; ADAMS, T.E.:Lightman, S. L. (1994) How does the hypothalamus respond to stress?. Neurosciences 6: pp. 215-219...
the High Carb meal can induce a lower glycemic response than the OGTT29. This strong surge in blood glucose levels caused by the OGTT may therefore result in an inhibition of the wake-promoting neurons in the hypothalamus30, and this loss of hypothalamic drive may ultimately lead to reduced ...
Mike Krashes, figured out how to turn up the volume on the drive for food as high as it can go. They did it by stimulating a bundle of neurons in the hypothalamus, an area of the brain thought to play a key role in regulating our basic needs. ...
Shorter sleep durations are associated with medical obesity, possibly due to the hypothalamus (which regulates appetite and energy spent) malfunctioning. So yes, your body needs enough hours of sleep in order to reach its full potential. Benefits of Sleep Meditation You already know what a lack ...
Lust, driven by the desire for sexual gratification, is primarily motivated by the production of sex hormones testosterone and estrogen thanks to the brain's hypothalamus. Attraction, although closely related, is something different; it hinges on the brain's reward system and is the reason why ne...
Our hypothalamus secretes CRH when we are stressed, which then goes on to promote the release of cortisol in the body (further increasing stress symptoms). We can lower our levels of CRH with antidepressants and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Other treatment options like talk therapy and lifest...
That SCN I wrote about above is a “master clock” in our brain that uses our exposure to light to coordinate all of the workings of our organs. Located in the hypothalamus, “an area of the brain just above where the optic nerves from the eyes cross, it synchronizes our circadian rhyt...
Your hypothalamus, a structure deep inside your brain, makes oxytocin. Your pituitary gland, found at the base of your brain, stores oxytocin and then releases it into your bloodstream when triggered by the electrical activity of neurons in the hypothalamus. ...
Since the brain was found to be somehow flexible, plastic, researchers worldwide have been trying to comprehend its fundamentals to better understand the brain itself, make predictions, disentangle the neurobiology of brain diseases, and finally propose up-to-date treatments. Neuroplasticity is simple...
The vagus nerve communicates with the hypothalamus, a key brain region involved in hormone regulation and one component of thehypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Due to thegut-hormone connection, your gut directly impacts estrogen metabolism and may help eliminate environmental toxins that can ...
