Alzheimer’s, ALS Death Rates Up for Football Players Regular cocoa consumption in elderly linked to improvements in neurovascular coupling and cognitive function. (HealthDay News) – Neurovascular ...

Neurovascular coupling (NVC) is the dynamic regulation of cerebral blood flow in response to neural activity. Specifically, when neurons become active, nearby blood vessels dilate to increase blood ...

The importance of neurovascular coupling is thus understandable. Nonetheless, it remained a matter of research as to how the brain communicated with the blood vessels to bring about such a precise and ...

What if we could better understand how the brain works by studying the relationship between neuronal activity and blood flow and potentially use that knowledge to create new therapies for neurological ...

In a study published in Science Advances, a research team led by Prof. LIU Chengbo from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a 1.7-gram ...

The brain is never completely at rest. Even without external input, it produces spontaneous neural activity that creates synchronized fluctuations across different regions - a process known as ...

Shot of a nurse consoling a senior patient in a nursing home GAPNA reviews studies on the links between dementia and cardiometabolic multimorbidity, atrial cardiopathy, and cardiovascular disease in ...

As the body’s most energy- and oxygen-hungry organ, the brain also happens to be the most dynamic, and it's devilishly complex. How does nutrient-rich blood wend its way through the vast labyrinth of ...

Participants 21 patients reporting within 28 days of concussion (female=8(38.1%); age=14.4±1.9 years) and 17 controls reporting with a musculoskeletal injury (female=7(41.2%); age=14.0±1.7 years).

Researchers have discovered a new mechanism for how the brain and its arteries communicate to supply blood to areas of heightened neural activity. The findings enable new avenues of study into the ...
