Researchers have mapped the complex nerve pathways that supply brown adipose tissue, otherwise known as ‘brown fat'. It’s the first step in developing a way of stimulating the nerves to burn fat as a ...

A UCLA-led team of researchers has found nerve pathways that supply brown adipose tissue (BAT), a type of tissue that releases chemical energy from fat metabolism as heat – a finding that could pave ...

Salk Institute scientists discovered a relationship between killer T cell exhaustion and the body’s sympathetic—“fight-or-flight”—stress response. The research showed that beta-blockers could inhibit ...

This manuscript proposes a lateralized, lobe-specific brain-liver sympathetic neurocircuit regulating hepatic glucose metabolism and presents anatomical evidence for sympathetic crossover at the porta ...
