Scientists map the neural pathways for vomiting after eating infected food

-
The urge to vomit after eating contaminated food is the body's natural defensive response to get rid of bacterial toxins. However, the process of how our brain initiates this biological reaction upon detecting the germs remains elusive. For the first time, researchers mapped out the detailed neural pathway of the defensive responses from the gut to the brain in mice.

Reducing 'vivid imagery' that fuels addiction cravings

-

New research shows promise in treating addiction cravings by combining eye movements and guided instructions to process memories. Researchers transformed dysfunctional memories stored in the brain through processing and integration. EMDR was as effective as cognitive behavioral therapy for cravings with the combination of both resulting in more reduction in craving than cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) alone. Both groups (experimental group and control group using only CBT) had clinically significant reductions in cravings, repetitive negative thoughts, and irrational cognitions, with the experimental group showing greater decreases overall.   http://dlvr.it/SyzZrK

A study using a tiny roundworm could pave the way for new treatments for neurodegenerative disorders. Researchers linked the worm gene swip-10 to copper regulation -- a vital element for brain health found in everyday items like wiring and cookware. Understanding the roles of swip-10 and MBLAC1, a protein involved in processing cellular materials, could lead to the development of effective medications for neurodegenerative diseases. This research opens new avenues for advancing brain disease treatments. http://dlvr.it/TDZpjl
