Jin et al. describe a body-to-brain neural circuit that informs the brain of emerging inflammatory responses. Intraperitoneal injection of mice with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or other immune insults was shown to activate specific neurons in the caudal nucleus of the solitary tract (cNST) in the ...
Mounting evidence points to high levels of inflammation as an important biological abnormality leading todepressionin at least one third of patients. However, this new study offers the first evidence that inflammation may increase depression risk by reducing the birth of new cells and accelerating the...
Their latest research, published in theJournal of Neuroinflammation, shows for the first time how inflammation changes nerve cell maturation and function. They showed that too much inflammation in the womb impairs the maturation of nerve cells (called neurons), leading to reduced electric activity. N...
A: The brain – first of all, the cells that can cause inflammation, when they’re behaving are clearing the plaque. So you want to keep these certain cells clearing the plaque away and not causing inflammation. During the deep sleep, those cells eat all the plaque. And then the brain ...

These brain chemicals are linked to inflammation in the brain, and studies show they can: Kill or hurt brain cells Prevent new ones from growing Interfere with thinking Accelerate brain aging Even if levels return to normal, even temporary periods of reduced new growth and increased aging can ...
It has the following benefits: (1) Increases production of protective fluid around the spinal discs; (2) Removes waste around the spine; (3) Reduces inflammation within the body and (4) Improves circulation. Some studies have also found that if practiced daily, hanging upside down can ...
When it comes to memory, immune cells are known as the "bad cops" of the brain. But new research shows they could also be turned into "good cops" to power memory and learning. Inflammation can send the brain's immunecellsinto damaging hyperdrive, and this has been linked to neurodegenerat...
A third group was the control group: they had neither brain inflammation nor weights. All the rats were then put into a maze, which they had to complete several times. In the first few tests, the control animals were faster and more accurate than those whose brains had been ...
