Norwegian researchers say short bursts of high-intensity effort just 4.5 minutes daily dramatically improve cardiovascular fitness and lifespan.
Scientists found a brainstem area linked to forceful breathing also constricts blood vessels, offering new treatment targets.
New research reveals ADHD brains slip into brief sleep-like episodes during waking hours, explaining attention lapses and slower reactions.
UC Berkeley researchers discovered brain circuits linking deep sleep to growth hormone release, revealing how sleep builds muscle and burns fat.
Simple scans measuring brain blood flow and oxygen levels could detect Alzheimer's risk earlier than current methods by focusing on vascular health.
New research reveals that brain cells active after workouts—not just during—are key to building endurance over time.
New research reveals that consuming caffeine at night, but not during the day, significantly increases impulsive behavior in females.
New NIH research reveals the brain-cell signaling mechanism behind GLP-1 drug plateaus and a potential way to extend their effects.
New study of 96,000 people shows brief bursts of intense activity dramatically reduce risks of heart disease, dementia, and diabetes.
New research reveals depression may stem from cellular energy imbalances, offering hope for earlier diagnosis and targeted treatments.
New research shows caffeine selectively restores a brain circuit for social memory damaged by sleep loss, without overstimulating healthy neurons.
A home-based walking and resistance program improved attention and reduced observable cognitive decline in chemotherapy patients over 6 weeks.
A new tool that boosts mitochondrial activity in neurons restored memory in dementia mice, suggesting energy failure drives Alzheimer's symptoms.
Scientists used red blood cells to transport healthy mitochondria into diseased brain cells, showing promise for Parkinson's treatment.
MIT researchers discovered that 30% of adult brain synapses are dormant but ready to activate, reshaping how we understand lifelong learning.
Clinical trial shows solriamfetol significantly improves alertness and performance in workers who start before sunrise.
A large clinical trial finds baduanjin, a gentle 800-year-old Chinese practice, lowers blood pressure comparably to medication and brisk walking.
Duke researchers restored healthy mitochondria to damaged nerve cells, cutting pain-related behaviors by 50% in mice with nerve pain.
