There's a two-way highway running between your gut and your brain, and your vagus nerve is the traffic system keeping it all moving. When spinal tension and cranial restrictions start jamming those signals, the fallout shows up as bloating, food sensitivities, anxiety, and a digestive system that ju...

For more than 60 years, scientists have worked to understand this remarkable structure. Now, powerful new neuroscience tools are giving researchers unprecedented access to the LC and revealing that its organization and function are far more complex than previously imagined.
Interestingly, while LC neurons receive signals related to autonomic arousal, different subpopulations appear to encode specific cognitive processes. Their distinct connections with different brain regions, combined with differences in receptor distribution, suggest that the LC does much more than simply act as an “arousal center.”
Instead, this tiny brainstem nucleus may selectively shape the activity of different brain networks, helping determine what we attend to, how we respond to challenges, and how our brains adapt to changing demands.

Long wavelength red light that can extend beyond the human visual range penetrates deeply through biological tissue. Exposure to these longer wavelengths improves mitochondrial function and ATP production. This can translate to improved physiological performance, particularly in the CNS, including t...

Microglia are the most common immune cells in the brain, where they defend against intruders and engulf damaged neurons. Now, scientists at Columbia's Zuckerman Institute have discovered for the first time that, just like human neurons, human microglia mature especially slowly compared with microgli...
