Neuroinflammation

Your brain’s immune cells don’t just react to bad sleep — they listen to your gut, your gums, and your stress. Here’s how microglial priming works and what quiets it.

The bacteria in your gut teach your brain’s immune cells how to behave. Here’s the microbiome-microglia connection, minus the hype.

Your brain’s immune cells are listening to your blood sugar. Feed them well and they protect your synapses — spike them daily and the damage compounds quietly.

Your brain’s immune cells work the night shift — pruning synapses and clearing waste. Here’s why cutting sleep short breaks both systems.

The brain-booster industry optimizes neurotransmitters while ignoring the immune cells that actually decide whether your synapses survive.

The word-finding slips and mental static after 40 may come from primed microglia, not just hormones — and that changes what actually helps.

Your brain has its own immune system, and the cells running it are called microglia. What you eat, how you sleep, and whether you move determines if they protect or destroy.

New research maps exactly how bacteria from gum disease travel to your brain through your bloodstream and your gut — and what you can do about it.

New research maps how oral bacteria trigger brain inflammation through the oral-gut-brain axis — and it’s not just about Alzheimer’s.

New research reveals how oral bacteria hijack your gut’s tryptophan metabolism through the kynurenine pathway — and it changes everything about the gut-brain connection.

How sleeping with your mouth open fuels brain inflammation through the oral-gut-brain axis.

The immune pathway from gut inflammation to brain fog runs through cytokines and microglial activation — and it’s more direct than you think.
