Remember the song "The Skeleton Dance" from your childhood? Here's how it went: "The toe bone's connected to the foot bone, the foot bone's connected to the ankle bone, the ankle bone's connected to ...

“Although people with heart disease are two to three times more likely than the general population to have changes in their brain’s vascular system, they’re often overlooked, because these ...

Scientists have been asking whether neural activity also changes the structure of local vascular networks. According to new research published in the Sept. 3 issue of Neuron , the answer is yes.

New research led by the University of Melbourne is helping to shed light on the aging process of the heart and how age-related changes in the cardiovascular system impact brain networks.

The researchers say their finding, detailed in a study published November 12, 2021, in Neurology Genetics, suggests that blood vessel walls called the blood brain barrier, which normally act as a ...

The pathophysiological mechanisms associated with the onset and progression of age-related diseases, and potential impacts of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) on aging, are not completely understood.

Healthy blood vessels matter for more than just heart health. Vascular well-being is critical for brain health and potentially in addressing age-related cognitive decline and neurodegenerative ...

Chronic stress affects the immune system and the brain. Researchers now show that a particular enzyme found in cells of the immune system enters the brain under stress. In mice, it causes them to ...
