The Nucleus Basalis, Brain Stabilization and Homeostasis This action (where the nucleus basalis is turned off), which means that less synaptic plasticity is taking place; (the vital point to note here ...

One of the key brain regions innervated by the vagus nerve is the insular cortex, which is involved in a diverse range of functions from regulating homeostasis, to motor control and cognitive ...

Understanding the body's need for balance can help make sense of how things go awry. We can manage acute stress, but when ...

In type 2 diabetes and obesity, the homeostatic control of glucose and energy balance is impaired, leading to hyperglycemia and hyperphagia. Recent studies indicate that nutrient-sensing ...

The blood-CSF barrier has been far less studied than the blood-brain barrier. Scientists have detected age-related changes in gene expression in the choroid plexus, and have linked these to increased ...

The ultimate long-term goal is to develop disease-modifying therapies. We are curious about endoplasmic reticulum protein homeostasis in regulating the function of a brain cell in health and disease.

By using biochemistry of lipids, cellular biology, microscopy and animal models we identified various interactions between lipids and chloride co-transporters crucial for their functionality and ...

This is the sixth episode in our series on homeostasis. Today, we’re going to talk about the brain and the eyes. I mentioned the brain in our episode on the Nervous System. It is part of our ...
