A new study reveals how brainstem neurons expressing cholecystokinin (CCK) track food intake and regulate satiation through ...

Grounded in polyvagal theory, explore how emotions emerge, why they fluctuate, and how we can cultivate emotional ...

Neurons found in one of the oldest regions of the brain may control when we stop eating a meal, new research in mice hints.

Toward the bottom of the brain are more primitive structures, including the cerebellum and brain stem. These also fulfill critical functions. Running through parts of the brain are a dozen pairs ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have discovered a fundamental mechanism that affects the size of the pupil, ...

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of the whole brain with cardiac triggering allowed simultaneous observation of activity in the brainstem, thalamus and cerebrum. This work shows that ...

Columbia researchers have identified special neurons in the brainstem of mice controlling meal cessation. Using innovative single-cell techniques, they pinpointed cells that process comprehensive ...

Columbia scientists have identified specialized brainstem neurons that tell mice when to stop eating. These cells integrate sensory and hormonal signals to regulate meal size and respond to ...

New research provides direct evidence that the gut microbiome communicates with the brain through the vagus nerve.
