When you sit quietly for a moment listening to your heart pump blood through your body, do you think about blood vessels as a firehose drenching your organs and brain with red blood cells full of ...

When we smell hot dogs, it may trigger memories of backyard barbeques or attending baseball games during childhood. During this process, the areas of the brain that control smell and long-term memory ...

Researchers have discovered how newly created neurons depend on blood flow in the adult brain to travel from their site of ...

A new method for imaging blood circulation and the flow within blood vessels could lead to faster and more precise assessments of capillary dynamics. In particular it should help the understanding of ...

The brain is packed with neurons that are constantly in need of power, but there isn't really anywhere to store energy there. So the brain has a network of blood vessels that constantly supply it with ...

This fundamental work provides novel insights into the blood flow-dependent mechanisms of neuronal migration and the role of Ghrelin signaling in the adult brain. The authors present convincing ...

Researchers from the University of Birmingham have found that flavanols, which are found in cocoa, tea, and berries, may help ...

EPFL researchers have invented a remarkably small and ultraflexible neurovascular microcatheter. Powered by blood flow, it ...

Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability, affecting 1 in 4 people during their lifetime. Stroke happens when blood ...

Scientists have discovered that blood flow helps direct the movement of newly formed neurons in the adult brain, revealing a surprising link between circulation and brain cell migration.
