Interoception research reveals how gut-brain communication via neural, hormonal, and microbial pathways regulates metabolism, ...

New research suggests that a misalignment between the brain's and liver's internal clocks could be a hidden driver of weight gain.

Misalignment between the brain’s and liver’s circadian clocks, connected by the HVAN, leads to disordered eating and weight ...

"We have managed to isolate the activity of individual vagal neurons and identified those that are responsible for either informing the brain about cardiovascular function (afferent neurons) or ...

This study uncovers the hepatic vagal nerve's influence on circadian food intake, presenting new avenues for obesity ...

The cranial nerves are vulnerable to damage during head trauma. Many of them run over the surface of the skull, protected only by the muscles and tissues of the face. Head trauma occurs when there is ...

Disruptions between the brain’s master circadian clock and the liver’s internal clock, communicated via the hepatic afferent vagal nerve (HVAN), can lead to unhealthy eating patterns and ...
