The dreaming brain tunes out the outside world

The brain tunes out information from the outside world, such as the sound of speech, during REM sleep. During light sleep, the brain prioritizes meaningful speech, just as it does during a wakeful state. Researchers believe the mechanism enables the brain to protect the dreaming phase, which is essential for memory consolidation.

Triglycerides control neurons in the reward circuit

Dietary triglycerides directly alter signaling in the reward circuit to regulate behavior. The findings reveal a potential mechanism by which triglyceride-rich diets may lead to adaptions in dopamine signaling that underlie reward deficit and compulsive behaviors.

Brain cells that change shape after a meal

Following a meal, astrocytes associated with POMC neurons in the hypothalamus alter their shape. After eating, glucose levels increase temporarily. Astrocytes detect the signal and react within one hour, causing POMC neurons to activate and promote the feeling of satiety.

Regulating Copper in the Brain Stops Memory Loss Associated With Alzheimer’s

Researchers have developed a molecule that regulates the circulation of copper in the brain. The molecule extracts copper trapped in amyloid plaques in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. Administered orally, the molecule inhibits memory loss associated with Alzheimer's.
