Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Raneen Nicola"
- Raneen Nicola's research primarily focuses on the interplay between metabolic signals, particularly lactate, and neuroinflammation, neurogenesis, and cognitive function in the brain.
- Key findings suggest that lactate not only enhances adult hippocampal neurogenesis, crucial for memory and learning, but also modulates microglial functions, potentially influencing their ability to clear harmful substances like Amyloid-β.
- Additional studies explore the impact of environmental factors, maternal immunity, and brief hypoxic events on neurological outcomes, emphasizing the complex relationship between metabolism and neurological health.
