Targeting specific neurons modulates memory retrieval and alters anxiety-like behaviors in mice

We humans lose mental acuity, an unfortunate side effect of aging. And for individuals with neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, the loss of cognitive function often accompanied by mood disorders such as anxiety is a harrowing experience.

Exercise increases dopamine signaling in the mouse brain

Exercise increases dopamine signaling in the motor areas of mice, according to research recently published in JNeurosci.

16 May 2022

Exercise increases levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor which bolsters dopamine release

Exercise increases levels of a chemical involved in brain cell growth, which bolsters the release of the "feel good" hormone dopamine, a new study shows. Dopamine is known to play a key role in movement, motivation, and learning.

Triple vaccination found to confer immune protection against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.2 sublineage

Researchers assessed the immune responses induced by two doses or three doses of the BNT162b2 (BNT) or the CoronaVac (CorV) vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.2 sublineage among public servants working for the government of Hong Kong.
