For many people, the day doesn't start until the coffee cup is empty.
In this new study (Mult Scler. 2023 Jun 27:13524585231181841) the investigators aimed to study the influence of dietary habits on the risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS).
Researchers designed a technology that allows them to probe and control the neural circuits between the gut and brain, demonstrating their ability to influence feelings of fullness or reward-seeking behavior in mice.
Daytime napping may help to preserve brain health by slowing the rate at which our brains shrink as we age, suggests a new study led by researchers at UCL and the University of the Republic in Uruguay.
A large number of observational studies have highlighted the prevalence rates of vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency in many populations including pregnant women.

Diet may reduce Alzheimer dementia risk and slow cognitive decline, but the understanding of the relevant neuropathologic mechanisms remains limited. The association of dietary patterns with Alzheimer disease (AD) pathology has been suggested using neuroimaging biomarkers. This new study (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1212/WNL.0000000000207176) examined...
