“Edward F. Coyle, Ph.D. – Researches how acute, high-intensity exercise counteracts the negative cardiometabolic consequences of daily sedentary behavior. Paul Thompson, M.D. – A pioneer within the field of sports cardiology.”

“The authors of the study gave the mice NP03 (40 micrograms of lithium per kilogram of body weight) five times a week for 12 weeks, to span the timeframe in which the mice would have amyloid-beta accumulation.”

“Meditation is a form of mental training geared toward improving a person's core neurocognitive function, such as regulation of attention and emotion. Open monitoring meditation, often referred to as "being present," trains a person to engage in non-judgmental attention to present-moment experiences.”

“Signals from the foods we consume help regulate eating behaviors, such as whether we should stop or continue eating. A new study has found that obesity diminishes the brain's responses to these signals, and weight loss doesn't correct the problem.”

“Using a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease, researchers gave one group of mice free access to food throughout the day but fed another group on a time-restricted schedule (limited to a six-hour window each day), translating to about 14 hours of fasting for humans.”

“The probiotic also altered their gut microbial composition toward a more favorable profile and increased levels of isovaleric acid and gamma-aminobutyric acid (also known as GABA), metabolites involved in melatonin production and circadian rhythm regulation, respectively.”

“They used statistical analysis to identify associations between sociodemographic factors, cancer risk perceptions, sun exposure behaviors, and the number of sunburns reported in the previous 12 months.”

“Researchers enrolled 609 adults hospitalized for acute coronary syndrome over a four-year period. After discharge, participants wore a wrist accelerometer for 30 days to monitor their sleep, sedentary behavior, or physical activity.”

“Researchers examined brain activity, hormone levels, and eating behavior under different sleep conditions in mice and humans. They identified a previously unknown hormone, which they named raptin, and tracked where and when it was released.”

“A new study in mice demonstrates the negative effects of a high-fat, high-sugar Western dietary pattern on odor-related learning and memory. Smell is an important regulator of behavior and memory, especially in non-human animals like mice.”
