I want to share this research was inspired by me-search: everyday yoga practice that involves breathing and meditation and contemplation to know more biologically!

Sleep may synchronize the brain and body in ways that protect against dementia. During sleep, norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, and acetylcholine oscillate together in ~50-second rhythms that help drive cerebrospinal fluid flow and glymphatic clearance of amyloid-β and tau. #SleepScience #Neuroscience #Dementia science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

NEXT WEEK! On Tuesday, 5/26, Host @ScottRussoPhD & the #BrainBodyResearchInstitute are EXCITED to welcome @salkinstitute's Dr. Nicola Allen 👉 "Astrocyte-neuron interaction in health and disease" Register Now ➡️ mountsinai.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Muscle talks to the brain. 💪🧠 Exercise triggers myokines & myometabolites that boost cognition, while inactivity sends harmful signals that impair brain function. This muscle–brain crosstalk shapes behavior and resilience to aging and neurodegeneration. @WuTsaiAlliance sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Today in @Nature, we report MouseMapper: foundation-model AI to map disease perturbations across the entire mouse body cell-by-cell. In obesity, it revealed body-wide inflammation & unexpected facial nerve damage. 🧵👇🔉 nature.com/articles/s4158… led by @Dorie00 & @yingchen733

An invigorating meeting all around including yoga practice and dancing with Stephanie Correa and Alexandra Klein. Already looking forward to attending this meeting again! ✨

It was especially wonderful to see graduate students Sanutha and Pam share their work on breathing, stress and energy metabolism and receive thoughtful feedback.

It was an absolute pleasure attending, presenting and learning at the @cshlmeetings Brain–Body Physiology meeting, organized by Kara Marshall, @RibeiroCarlitos, and @rolls_asya. An amazing conference bringing the science of brain–organ interactions together in one place.

Thank you, @wasuzuki for bringing such connection, joy, and flow to our retreat this year. Sometimes what scientists need most is to get out of our heads and back into the body. The smiles say it all. 🙏✨

Faculty speakers @SwirskiLab @IgnacioSaezPhD and Gita Pathak and all the postdoc and student speakers. Special thank you to @PaulKennyPhD, Veronica Szarejko Danny Roldan and all others who helped organize this retreat! ✨

The @SinaiBrain retreat on Friday brought amazing speakers working on the brain and the body at the historic Riverside Church! Thank you to our keynote speakers @IshmailSaboor and @wasuzuki .

It was an absolute honor and pleasure to have you as a keynote speaker @IshmailSaboor for the @SinaiBrain retreat. Thank you so much for sharing your fantastic science ✨
