Brain Regions Vulnerable to Disease May Lack Adequate Energy From Blood Supply

Researchers say brain areas associated with neurodegenerative diseases tend to have less dense vascular networks which supply the brain with energy via the blood. The findings shed light on how the neurovascular system plays a role in the development of neurodegeneration.

Long Term High-Fat Diet Expands Waistline and Shrinks Brain

Mice fed a high-fat diet for 30 weeks were considerably more likely to develop diabetes, face cognitive impairments, and develop depression and anxiety. The mice with diet-induced cognitive impairment were also more likely to gain weight excessively due to poor metabolism caused by the brain changes.

Non-invasive Stimulation of Eye as Potential Treatment of Depression and Dementia

Transcorneal electrical stimulation (TES) provided antidepressant effects and reduced stress hormones in mouse models. Additionally, TES induced the expression of genes associated with the development and growth of hippocampal neurons. When tested in models of Alzheimer's, TES improved memory and reduced amyloid beta deposits in the hippocampus of the animals.
