Researchers discovered a feedback loop between nerve cells, the immune system and the heart. They think it shows promise as a ...

A heart attack activates stress circuits in the brain that evolved for survival but can amplify inflammation, disrupt healing ...

Arteries can narrow with fatty buildup. Blood struggles to move. Oxygen drops. A heart attack can follow, and it remains the world’s top killer. Researchers at the University of California San Diego ...

Arteries become clogged. Blood flow is restricted and oxygen is cut off. The result is a heart attack, the world's leading ...

Thinking positive increased a specific brain region's activity and might have heightened immune response after a shot.

The brain and vagus nerve play a key role in exacerbating tissue damage after a heart attack, but there are ways to block it.

The team’s research provides compelling evidence for the brain’s influence on physiology. A deeper understanding of this mind ...

Healthy adults trained to upregulate reward circuitry using neurofeedback showed stronger immune responses to HBV vaccination. Read more.

Scientists have long observed that cancer patients have a lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease. New research reveals a possible ...

Increasing activity in a deep-brain region can boost the immune system’s response to vaccines —and people can be trained to ...

UCLA scientists have developed advanced miniature 3D tumor organoid models that make it possible to study glioblastoma tumors in a setting that closely mirrors the human brain, shedding light on how ...

Scientists at Harvard University are proposing a fundamental change in the way we consider psychedelics and their therapeutic potential. Using mouse models and human cells, the team of neuroscientists ...
