Microscopic plastic particles we unknowingly consume may be triggering brain inflammation and linked to Alzheimer’s and ...

Researchers identified in mice a microbiome–gut–brain pathway in which age-associated changes in gut microbes increase medium ...

From fast nerve signals to microbial metabolites, scientists are uncovering the biological conversations between the gut and brain that may explain chronic pain, weight gain, and neurodegenerative ...

Brain tumors do not just invade healthy tissue. They also physically squeeze it, and that mechanical compression may be enough to trigger neuron death in the surrounding brain. Two peer-reviewed ...

Scientists have discovered a brain pathway that explains why scary sounds can trigger fear before you even understand what ...
