In mice we observed the occurrence of spatial and temporal defined local sinks in the brain tissue oxygen levels, a phenomenon we termed “hypoxic pockets”. Those hypoxic pockets lasted on average 50 ...

The human brain consumes vast amounts of energy, which is almost exclusively generated from a form of metabolism that requires oxygen. Consequently, the efficient and timely allocation and delivery of ...

Researchers at the University of Rochester and at the University of Copenhagen have developed a bioluminescence imaging technique that creates highly detailed, and visually striking, images of the ...

Soft electrodes designed to perfectly match a person's brain surface may help advance neural interfaces for neurodegenerative ...

Fairfield, Calif.-based NorthBay Healthcare purchased a cerebral oxygen monitoring device to help anesthesiologists read oxygen levels in the brain in real time during surgeries, according to The ...

Glioblastoma remains a highly challenging malignancy with a pronounced tendency for recurrence. The hypoxic microenvironment ...

When we learn something new, our brain cells (neurons) communicate with each other through electrical and chemical signals. If the same group of neurons communicate together often, the connections ...

Blood transfusions are commonly given to patients with acute brain injury, but there is ongoing debate over whether a restrictive or liberal transfusion strategy is preferable. Results of the TRICC ...

Luminescent protein, substrate, and oxygen all combine to create chemical chain reaction to produce light. Video shows the cortex of a mouse recorded over several minutes as the oxygen concentration ...
