In fruit flies and mice, scientists ID possible way to block muscle fatigue in long COVID, other diseases

Researchers found that cannabidiol (CBD) significantly reduces PTSD-like symptoms in mice by decreasing brain inflammation through activation of CB2 receptors, suggesting potential new treatments for PTSD by targeting neuroinflammation.

Inflammation in the hippocampus alters motivated behavior in mice, but in opposite ways for males and females regarding food seeking and memory.

A new study finds that a high-salt diet triggers brain inflammation that drives up blood pressure. The research, led by McGill University scientist Masha Prager-Khoutorsky in collaboration with an

A recent review of animal studies suggests that caffeine blocks specific cellular receptors to reduce neuroinflammation. This immune-calming effect may help alleviate behavioral symptoms associated with mood disorders.

A metabolic byproduct of gut bacteria can damage the blood-brain barrier and drive the formation of Alzheimer's-related proteins. Elevated levels of the chemical correlate with worse cognitive decline in humans and accelerate neurodegeneration in animal models.
