<title>Study identifies brain&amp;apos;s &amp;quot;accelerator&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;brake&amp;quot; cells for anxiety in mice</title>
<link>https://imxpa.com/247</link>
<guid>https://imxpa.com/247</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New research from the University of Utah identified two groups of immune cells, called microglia, that act as &quot;accelerators&quot; and &quot;brakes&quot; for anxiety in mice, representing a paradigm shift in understanding the biological roots of anxiety disorders. This discovery suggests future anxiety treatments could target these non-neuronal immune cells instead of the neurons currently addressed by psychiatric medications. ]]></description>

<title>Study confirms green space dramatically improves mental health in urban areas</title>
<link>https://imxpa.com/201</link>
<guid>https://imxpa.com/201</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A large international study from Monash University found that increased exposure to green space in cities is associated with significantly fewer hospitalizations for mental health disorders among urban dwellers. The analysis, covering 11.4 million hospital admissions across seven countries over two decades, found a 7% overall reduction in hospital admissions for mental health issues. The findings underscore the importance of integrating nature into urban design as a critical public health strategy. ]]></description>
