A new study highlights how signals from the liver to the brain influence eating patterns tied to our circadian rhythms.

Disruptions between the brain’s master circadian clock and the liver’s internal clock, communicated via the hepatic afferent vagal nerve (HVAN), can lead to unhealthy eating patterns and increased ...

Loss of vision or, in the case of an unconscious patient, a relative afferent pupillary deficit representing TON may be the only evidence of ocular pathology. The clinician must reconcile a ...

The project, “Afferent Mechanisms of Vagal Neuromodulation Therapy,” will further study preliminary evidence that suggests signals from a specific part of the hypothalamus – the ...

中更新世过渡（MPT）标志着冰期—间冰期气候特征的转变。关于MPT起源的一个普遍假设是，冰川深海环流发生了根本性的变化，其标志是在约90万年（海洋同位素阶段24至22）发生环流“危机”。

The prevalence of obesity is steadily rising and has huge health and financial implications for society. Weight gain is due to an imbalance between dietary intake and energy expenditure and ...

They speculate that specific brain areas could be involved: the dorsal posterior insula collects afferent sensory information about the homeostatic state of the body tissues whereas the right anterior ...
