Sentences with phrase «circuits in the brain regulate»

This presents a significant advance in understanding that circuits in the brain regulate amyloid - beta protein composition, showing that Alzheimer's is also driven by physiological mechanisms and just by genetic mutations.

In the brain, these proteins assume an entirely different role, helping to regulate neuroplasticity — the ability of neural circuits to reshape themselves at every stage of life.

The emerging picture from this study and others is of a brain built of multi-part circuits that respond in concert and regulate one another.

The thirst - regulating circuit is located in a region of the brain called the subfornical organ (SFO).

Howard Hughes Medical Institute scientists have identified a circuit in the brains of mice that regulates thirst.

In recent decades a rapid expansion in knowledge has occurred about the brain circuits that process and regulate emotional behavior, and in which abnormalities of neural function and structure associate with mood disorderIn recent decades a rapid expansion in knowledge has occurred about the brain circuits that process and regulate emotional behavior, and in which abnormalities of neural function and structure associate with mood disorderin knowledge has occurred about the brain circuits that process and regulate emotional behavior, and in which abnormalities of neural function and structure associate with mood disorderin which abnormalities of neural function and structure associate with mood disorders.

Lead researchers Garret D. Stuber, PhD, and Jenna A. McHenry, PhD, discovered a hormone - sensitive circuit in the brain that regulates social attraction in female mice.

In the new study, Song and colleagues discovered that this hippocampal PV interneuron - signaling is regulated by a GABA circuit coming from the medial septum, a cluster of neurons near the front of the brain.

The hippocampus is one of the major sites of neurogenesis in the adult human brain, and the circuit that Song's team has identified regulates this neuron - producing process.

To reign in your sweet tooth, Chaudhary recommends the herbs ashwagandha as well as brahmi, a popular herb in India that is sold in capsule form in the U.S. Chaudhary refers to brahmi as a «brain tonic» because of its beneficial effects on cognitive function and specifically how it regulates overloaded and exhausted pleasure circuits.

Laboratory studies have found that meditation produced changes in brain circuits involved in regulating emotion, Dr. Davidson said, and may reduce markers of inflammation and stress hormones like cortisol.

The research interpretation of the fMRI and cognitive tests is that the ongoing evaluation and selection process in bilingual children exercises brain circuits which regulate attention control and block distraction.

Emerging scientific investigation is improving our understanding of the causal biological pathways for these robust associations.46 Early childhood trauma, including physical abuse, leads to the production of stress hormones, such as cortisol and adrenaline that are normally protective, but with severe or persistent trauma can become toxic.47, 48 These stress hormones regulate neural circuits that are important in modulating an individual's response to stress, and over time, are associated with structural and functional changes in the brain and other organs.
