Every person walking, sleeping, or sitting still right now is feeding a small, hungry organ that weighs roughly 1.4 kilograms in an average adult yet demands a wildly outsized share of the body’s fuel ...

The brain has a high energy demand and reacts very sensitively to oxygen deficiency. LMU neurobiologists have now succeeded for the first time in directly correlating oxygen consumption with the ...

Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania say they have developed a novel optical method that uses a pair of macromolecular phosphorescent probes for the real-time monitoring of cerebral metabolic ...

The brain has a high energy demand and reacts very sensitively to oxygen deficiency. Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich neurobiologists have now succeeded for the first time in directly ...

VO2 max is an intimidating word for an easy-to-understand biometric: It’s how well your body uses oxygen when you push yourself. Short for “maximal oxygen uptake,” it’s been the gold standard for ...

Brain cell dysfunction in low oxygen is, surprisingly, caused by the very same responder system that is intended to be protective, according to a new published study by a team of researchers at Case ...
