What Does Meth Do To The Brain?

Credit: PixaobayMethamphetamine intake triggers heightened activity in the brain, resulting in a swift surge of dopamine and various neurotransmitters. This induces temporary euphoria, including sensations of invincibility, intense pleasure, heightened motivation and energy, and other psychoactive impacts. Meth is a highly addictive substance, contributing to the demise of brain cells, particularly neurons, and causing...

Probiotics and Cognitive Decline: Addressing Aging’s Effects on the Brain

A recent study indicates that probiotics may improve cognitive function and potentially prevent age-related cognitive decline by modulating the gut microbiome. Particularly in individuals with mild cognitive impairment, shifts in gut microbiome composition, such as decreases in the abundance of Prevotella bacteria, correlated with improved cognitive scores. Credit: PixaobayRecent research highlights the gut's crucial role in...

Human ‘Mini-Brains’ Implanted in Mice React to Light in Scientific First

Human and mouse neurons became connected via synapses. Credit: Giovanni Cancemi/Shutterstock.comThink of if lost, deteriorated, or diseased brain parts could be regrown in the laboratory and transplanted for a new lease on life. Scientists at the University of California San Diego have gotten us closer to that fact. Human cortical organoids (or 'mini-brains') transplanted...
