In a recent study published in the journal Cell, researchers utilized a genetically encoded mirror-TRAP strategy to investigate the functional importance of aggression-mirroring neurons. Social ...
A high-fat diet can promote overweight and increase the risk of metabolic diseases, such as diabetes. In mice brains, this leads to measurable changes in the region of the hypothalamus. However, fat ...
Deep inside the brain, a cluster of stem cells no larger than a grain of rice has been quietly running the body’s aging clock ...

The mice looked fine. After weeks on a high-fat, high-sugar diet during early life, they were switched back to standard lab ...
The hypothalamus is a small but critical region at the base of the brain that controls the autonomic nervous system, regulates body temperature, signals hunger and thirst, exerts hormonal control over ...
Brain aging reversal research points to a hypothalamus protein called Menin: when it declines in mice, memory, bone density, and skin health all deteriorate. Xiamen University researchers found that ...
