Researchers have identified the brain cells responsible for the weight-loss effects of semaglutide without triggering its undesirable side effects. This discovery paves the way for more targeted ...

Weight-loss drugs that mimic the effect of regulatory hormones on appetite and energy balance often come with a few rather ...

During SDR, the neurosurgeon uses a microscope and electrophysiological monitoring to guide the cutting of abnormal sensory nerve rootlets that originate from the back (dorsal) side of the spinal cord ...

A popular weight-loss drug may be changing how doctors treat obesity—but scientists are just starting to uncover exactly how it works inside the brain. A group of researchers from the University of ...

Meanwhile, side effects like nausea and muscle loss still occurred ... Credit: Josefin Bergenholtz The identified nerve cells are located in an area of the brain called the dorsal vagal complex. For ...

However, side effects such as nausea and muscle ... The identified nerve cells are located in an area of the brain called the dorsal vagal complex. For the researchers, the result is not only ...

Yet many patients experience side effects ... it collects in certain brain regions that don’t have one—especially an area called the dorsal vagal complex, or DVC. This part of the brainstem ...

“If we can target the treatment there, we may be able to maintain the positive effects while reducing side effects,” says Júlia Teixidor-Deulofeu, first author of the study and PhD student at ...

A new study published in the journal Brain Research provides evidence that chronic use of a lipid-based cannabidiol (CBD) nanoemulsion may help reduce anxiety and panic-like behavior by targeting ...

Researchers found that during acute pain, a braking system in the brain calms pain signals, but in chronic pain, this system ...

New research suggests that Huntington’s disease could cause the brain to rewire, like a road detour. While connections between some brain cells are shut down, the traffic seems to get re-routed, ...
