So, digestion is a complex biochemical function that relies on the level of oxygenation of the body to be accomplished. (lymphaticyogaexpert.com)
Rather than focusing on activity in previously suspected brain areas, the researchers examined connectivity in the brain as a whole, examining changes in blood oxygenation in about 27,000 points known as voxels (the 3D imaging equivalent of pixels on a computer screen). (sciencemag.org)
Lyons and coauthors, along with research groups from around world over, are focusing current efforts on the timing and drivers of oxygenation in the late Proterozoic, favoring a combination of global - scale mountain building, evolutionary controls on the way carbon is cycled in the biosphere, and concomitant climate events.
