Young adults with PTSD more likely to experience a stroke event by middle age

Young adults who suffer from posttraumatic stress disorder may be more likely to experience a transient ischemic attack or major stroke event by middle age, raising the risk as much as other better-known risk factors, according to new research published in Stroke, a journal of the American Stroke Association, a division of the American Heart Association.

Researchers identify neural pathways that underlie hunger-induced changes in taste preferences

Why does everything taste better when we're hungry? According to new findings from the National Institute for Physiological Sciences in Japan, not only does food taste sweeter when our stomachs are rumbling, but bitter food also becomes less difficult to eat--and both effects are moderated by a neural circuit in the hypothalamus.

New discovery paves way for better treatment of diabetes

Insulin, a hormone essential for regulating blood sugar and lipids, is normally produced by pancreatic β cells. In many people with diabetes, however, pancreatic cells are not (or no longer) functional, causing a chronic and potentially fatal insulin deficiency that can only be controlled through daily insulin injections.

Researchers create interactive map of preterm births and potential causes in Central California

A research team led by UC San Diego has created an interactive map of preterm births - births before 37 weeks of gestation - and potential environmental and social drivers across Fresno County in Central California. Fresno has one of the highest rates of preterm birth in the state.

Amyloid-β protein misfolding proves to be strong risk prediction marker for Alzheimer's

In symptom-free individuals, the detection of misfolded amyloid-β protein in the blood indicated a considerably higher risk of Alzheimer's disease - up to 14 years before a clinical diagnosis was made.

New technique reveals how the brain responds to light signals received by the retina

In recent decades, scientists have learned a great deal about how different neurons connect and send signals to each other. But it's been difficult to trace the activity of individual nerve fibers known as axons, some of which can extend from the tip of the toe to the head.
