The internal carotid supplies the head and brain with blood. In the circle of Willis, the anterior arteries supply blood and oxygen to the front of the brain, and the posterior arteries are ...

Oden worked with Lara Abdelmohsen, a doctoral student in BME who is researching the circle of Willis (CoW), a ring-shaped network of arteries at the base of the brain that supply blood to the brain.

Reduced levels of a critical protein are linked to devastating brain diseases like Alzheimer's, frontotemporal dementia, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Surprisingly, the protein shortage ...

Surprisingly, the protein shortage primarily affects the brain's blood vessels. When endothelial cells lack enough TDP-43 protein, they don't stick together as tightly. This creates gaps in the ...

GNWT, by contrast, argues that consciousness occurs when certain information is “broadcast” across a network of brain regions ...

This explainer outlines how neurons and glial cells coordinate electrical and chemical signals to form complex brain networks that govern thought, behavior, and consciousness. It also explores how ...

New cellular research adds supporting evidence that the amount of erythritol in just 1 serving of a beverage could harm brain and blood vessel health. Experts advise limiting or avoiding ...

A new study sheds new light on these big questions, illuminating a general principle of neural processing in a mysterious region of the midbrain that is the very origin of our central serotonin (5-HT) ...

Dr. Jean-Claude Béïque, full professor in the Faculty's Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine and co-director of the ...

But thanks to new Danish research, we now have new and detailed insight into what happens in the blood vessels of the brain after blood flow is restored. The paper is published in the journal ...

Oregon State University researchers have discovered a way to get anti-inflammatory medicine across the blood-brain barrier, opening the door to potential new therapies for a range of conditions ...
