CPAP treatments for sleep apnea have the potential to reduce dementia risk, a new study reports.
A new study reveals salt intake decreases blood flow in the hypothalamus as neurons activate.
Study reaffirms findings that the gut microbiome may play a significant role in cognitive decline. Researchers found, in mice, a ketogenic diet, hypoxia, and the Bilophila wadsworthia bacteria impaired the hippocampus, leading to signs of cognitive decline.
Mentally and physically demanding tasks trigger functional hypoxia across the brain. This oxygen shortage activates Epo, which stimulates the growth of new neurons and synapses.
Dysfunction in brain cells caused by low oxygen is caused by the same responder system that is intended to be protective.
Glioma brain tumors disrupt neural synchrony between bilateral cortical regions. The findings provide new insight into the association between seizures and tumor progression.
Cognitive challenges trigger a slight oxygen deficit in hippocampal pyramidal neurons. This increases the production of erythropoietin (Epo) and its receptors in the active neurons, stimulating neighboring precursor cells to form new neurons and enhancing connectivity.
Lack of oxygen to the fetus during pregnancy as a result of pre-eclampsia may increase the risk for schizophrenia, a new study reports.

Researchers believe low oxygen therapy could prevent, and may even reverse, mitochondrial disorders in people.
A strain of a bacteria commonly associated with food poisoning could prove an unlikely ally in the battle against glioblastoma brain cancer, a new study reports.
Researchers report motor problems associated with preterm birth could be due to defects in peripheral nerves.
