Should I do sport or would I rather go to a café and enjoy a delicious strawberry milkshake? What exactly happens in our brain when we make this decision has been a mystery to science until now, but researchers at ETH Zurich have found the solution. They have deciphered which brain substance and which nerve […]
Healthy blood vessels are not only important for heart health. Vascular well-being is critical for brain health and potentially for combating age-related cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, according to a new study led by Penn State researchers. The findings point to a previously understudied but potentially crucial role that the brain’s […]

The study, published in the journal Nature, describes two distinct neural circuits that control different effects of […]
In chronic hepatitis B, the liver contains immune cells that could destroy cells infected with the hepatitis B virus, but are inactive.
