High-fat diets allow gut bacteria to travel to the brain via the vagus nerve, potentially triggering neurological disorders.

Arash Grakoui, Ph.D., co-principal investigator of the study, and professor of medicine, microbiology and immunology at Emory University. With more than 100 million neurons in the digestive tract, the ...

Fat-based vesicles help deliver GM1 to the brain, improving movement and extending survival in mouse models of ALS, a study finds.

Tirzepatide is one of the drugs that has revolutionized the treatment of obesity and other conditions such as diabetes in recent years. Despite its clinical success, its precise molecular and cellular ...

Researchers identified four gut bacterial strains that sense low protein intake and release signals that convert white fat ...

Garlic compounds prolong life and preserve memory and strength in mice, revealing a potential ally against aging.

A new preclinical study suggests that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables may protect the brain from the damaging effects of a high-fat diet. Researchers found that mice fed a Western-style regimen ...

With more than 100 million neurons in the digestive tract, the gut is commonly known as the "second brain" in numerous cultures, including ancient ...
