A key brainstem function is to convey messages from your brain out to your body and vice versa. This regulates a large number of conscious and unconscious processes. The nerves that pass through ...

Scientists know the stomach talks to the brain, but two new studies from Rutgers Health researchers suggest the conversation ...

The nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) in the brainstem is a critical hub structure mediating this interaction via the vagus nerve. Despite its importance, the NTS's deep location has historically ...

Damage to the brainstem could be behind the physical and psychological effects of Long COVID, a new study suggests. Brain scans of 30 Long COVID patients found they had damage to the region of the ...
