Furthermore, when the researchers artificially activated this cortex-pons-medulla circuit, the animals' breath slowed, and they showed fewer signs of anxiety.

Through further testing the team found that the new antibodies did not disrupt HGF activity itself, meaning it could still activate satellite cells.

"In Parkinson's disease, when they're constantly activated, microglia can propagate further damage to the surrounding tissue. That's what we see in Parkinson's brains, particularly in regions associated with cognitive decline."

A yellow weather warning for snow and ice forecast for the region has meant cold weather plans for Merseyrail and Network Rail have been activated.

Next, the researchers calculated the energy an octopus would use when activating all chromatophores at once.
