The pleurae also serve as a division between other organs in the body, preventing them from interfering with the function of the lungs. They also serve as a barrier to infectious diseases that might ...

Exercise, therefore, is potentially able to improve the brain's capacity to respond to insulin for neuronal function ... and the functioning of synapses, structures that allow brain cells to ...

To investigate changes in brain function among people with HADD, we examined the resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) in a cohort of men who have sex with men (MSM) with HADD, comparing them to a ...
