INTRODUCTION A brief exposure to a stressor imposes a persistent imprint on the brain (1). Insomnia is among the most prevalent stress-related complaints, and clarification of the mechanism underlying stress-induced insomnia is essential for developing effective treatment Continue reading →

Studies in mice led by scientists at the Scripps Research Institute have tied some of the biological effects of calorie restriction (CR)which is known for its life-extending effects in animalsto metabolic molecules that are affected by changes in body temperature. The discovery helps to explain some of the elusive science behind the health benefits of calorie restriction, and indicates that targeting metabolic pathways could potentially mimic the effects of CR in humans.

Rewired into hypothermia by deprivation Calorie restriction extends health span, which is thought to be mediated in part through a decrease in core body temperature. Guijas et al. compared metabolomics data from mice subjected to calorie restriction and that were housed at a temperature lower than body temperature or at thermoneutrality, reasoning that thermoneutrality would offset the metabolic changes induced by calorie restriction.

This summer, weve already experienced some very extreme temperatures and even a heatwave in some parts of the country. While everyone is trying their best to stay hydrated and cope with this weather, we all know someone who feels hotter than everyone around them - not just now, but all the time, as a rule. Truth is, it might not be just the heat in that situation Continue reading →

A new study, led by neuroscientists from Stanford University, has homed in on the specific brain circuit responsible for stress-induced insomnia. The research suggests this same circuit is responsible for stress-related immune system dysfunction, pointing to a close relationship between stress, insomnia and weakened immunity Continue reading →

As the US becomes more diverse, some white voters feel a rising resentment that they could lose power and privileges long taken for granted. That anger finds form in the growing white nationalist movement, says Lawrence Rosenthal, founder of the Center for Right Wing Studies at UC Berkeley. Continue reading →

KEY POINTS Stress can negatively impact your digestive health in several ways. While short-term stress can affect your appetite and decelerate your digestion, prolonged stress could trigger gastrointestinal issues including indigestion, constipation, and an upset stomach. New research found that the love hormone, oxytocin,can reverse the effects of stress disruption of digestion Continue reading →
