À propos de cet audio

In this episode, we explore groundbreaking research on how oxygen levels in the brain fluctuate and form "hypoxic pockets"—localized areas with reduced oxygen that impact brain function. By using an innovative bioluminescent oxygen imaging technique in mice, researchers have mapped these pockets in real time, revealing how activities like movement influence oxygen distribution. Join us as we delve into the implications of these findings for understanding brain metabolism, blood flow, and potential applications in treating neurological conditions. This episode is perfect for science enthusiasts eager to learn about cutting-edge brain research!
