Mice that were 20 months old got thicker skin, denser bones, sharper memory and steadier balance within 30 days of having a single brain protein put back. The protein is Menin, and the experiment came ...

Deep in the floor of the brain's third ventricle, a thin layer of cells called tanycytes has long been known as a gatekeeper ...

Researchers from the Department of Cell Biology, Genetics and Physiology at the University of Malaga have led an ...

Scientists discovered that declining levels of a protein called Menin may help drive aging, and restoring it in older mice ...

Hypothalamic menin depletion accelerates systemic aging and cognitive decline, while restoration extends lifespan. Read more ...

Hypothalamic neurons encode sleep–wake states, but their long-term stability is unclear. Here, authors show that although single-cell state selectivity drifts over days, the overall ensemble ...

New research in mice shows that light reaches hypothalamic circuits through parallel retinal and circadian signalling ...

Why do we age? It’s a seemingly simple question that nonetheless scientists don’t have a great answer to. Some amount of aging seems to be controlled by our genetic makeup, while other evidence shows ...

A study led by researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) has implicated several genes involved in a variety of bodily functions associated with the hypothalamus, a notoriously ...

While the search continues for the Fountain of Youth, researchers may have found the body's "fountain of aging": the brain region known as the hypothalamus. For the first time, scientists report that ...

The hypothalamus is involved during the coordination of neuroendocrine functions in vertebrates and their evolutionary origin can be described using integrated transcriptome or connectome brain maps ...

The hypothalamus is a small but complex region of the brain. It has links with both the nervous system as well as the endocrine system. Although shaped and sized like an almond, there are nuclei ...
