By using in vivo electrochemistry, researchers demonstrated that characteristic changes occur in the oxygen content of various brain regions before injury. As a team reports in the journal ...

When the heart stops, blood flow to the brain is halted, leading to ischemia—a deprivation of oxygen and nutrients. Within ...

It increases blood flow and oxygen in the brain, boosts neurogenesis in parts of the brain like the hippocampus (key to memory formation), and helps to support neural function in other ways.

Oxygen and nutrients are delivered to your brain, boosting focus and alertness. “Mentally, exercise helps prime the brain for neuroplasticity, making it more adaptable and open to learning ...

Scientists also report that people with lower oxygen levels as they sleep experienced alterations to the white matter of the brain, which is traditionally linked to brain issues as we age.

It may help the brain wake up or stay awake during tedious ... yawning is not related to oxygen deprivation.

Individuals with sickle cell disease – a chronic illness where misshapen, sticky blood cells clump together, reducing oxygen delivery to organs – are ...

Researchers reporting in ACS Sensors have developed an optical fiber sensing system that could help ... key brain health biomarkers: temperature, pH, and concentrations of dissolved oxygen ...
