People who use both cannabis and tobacco show higher brain levels of FAAH — an enzyme that breaks down mood-regulating anandamide — than cannabis-only users, possibly explaining why mixing the two is tied to worse mental health and harder quitting.

Scientists found out which of the lipids and metabolites in the dead brain stick around for as much as 48 hours

A new study has pinpointed how the APOE4 gene variant sabotages the brain’s energy balance, blocking neurons from burning fat for fuel when glucose runs low in, a discovery using human brain tissue and genetically modified mice that could reveal new ways to prevent or slow Alzheimer’s disease.

Gum disease associated with changes in the brain: Adults with gum disease may be more likely to have signs of damage to brain’s white matter, called white matter hyperintensities

New study identifies a link between changes in brain shape and declines in cognitive functions, such as memory and reasoning.
