Study of 2,197 patients with resistant depression finds 95 percent improved once parasympathetic and sympathetic ...

Researchers have created a digital topographical map of the cardiac sympathetic neural network, the region that controls the body's heart rate and its 'fight-or-flight' response. They hope this map ...

Consider a house with the water main half shut. The faucets sputter. The toilet runs all night. The garden wilts. You could call a plumber for the faucet, a landscaper for the garden, a different ...

Oregon Health & Science University researchers have found that certain nerves that play an integral role in the body's "fight or flight" stress response can support pancreatic tumor growth. These ...

The sympathetic nervous system, which enables the fight-or-flight response, was thought to be present only in jawed vertebrates. Analysis of a jawless vertebrate suggests that this system might be a ...

The sympathetic nervous system was thought to have evolved with jawed vertebrates. But lampreys—jawless, parasitic fish that suck out the blood of their hosts—have a simple one, per recent research.

A new study published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology has traced how the sympathetic nervous system, the ...

For years, researchers have known that the symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) result from damage to a specific region of the brain. A new study shows that the disease also causes widespread damage ...

A team of UCF College of Medicine researchers has created a digital topographical map of the cardiac sympathetic neural network, the region that controls the body’s heart rate and its “fight-or-flight ...
