The hypothalamus is a small region of the human brain typically associated with regulating body temperature, hunger, thirst, fatigue, and sleep. But it also has another important role: helping the ...

While the search continues for the Fountain of Youth, researchers may have found the body's "fountain of aging": the brain region known as the hypothalamus. For the first time, scientists report that ...

The hypothalamus is involved during the coordination of neuroendocrine functions in vertebrates and their evolutionary origin can be described using integrated transcriptome or connectome brain maps ...

Des scientifiques de Lausanne ont identifié une région cérébrale cruciale pour la récupération de la marche chez des souris souffrant de lésions de la moelle épinière. Cette découverte inattendue a ...

Scientists have found that stem cells in the brain's hypothalamus govern how fast aging occurs in the body. The finding, made in mice, could lead to new strategies for warding off age-related diseases ...

The hypothalamus is a small almond shaped organ in the lower part of the brain. However, this small organ has numerous connections that help it play an important role in connecting the nervous system ...

If you are reading this and you don’t smoke, then your major risk factor for dying is probably your age. That’s because we have nearly eliminated mortality in early life, thanks to advances in science ...

De la taille d’une belle amande, l’hypothalamus est une structure logée dans le cerveau profond. Petit mais complexe, il regroupe onze amas de neurones distincts, qu’on appelle “noyaux”, qui ont des ...
