Mind-body linkage is built into the structure of the brain, study reveals

Calm body, calm mind, say the practitioners of mindfulness. A new study by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis indicates that the idea that the body and mind are inextricably intertwined is more than just an abstraction.

Novel imaging method shows link between iron redox and Alzheimer’s disease

There is a growing body of evidence that iron in the brain may play a role in Alzheimer's disease. Lending weight to that idea, a new imaging probe has for the first time shown that in the same regions of the brain where the amyloid beta plaques associated with Alzheimer's occur, there is also an increase in iron redox, meaning the iron in these regions is more reactive in the presence of oxygen.
