Staff are expected to move into The Tea Factory, in Birmingham, by 2026.
Plans for the new BBC headquarters in Birmingham have been given the go-ahead by the city council.
Building works can now begin on The Tea Factory, which is expected to be ready for staff to move into by 2026.Once built, all teams at The Mailbox will relocate, including Midlands Today, online teams, Radio WM, Radio 1's Newsbeat and Asian Network. Councillor Ian Ward, leader of Birmingham City Council, said he was "delighted" the new building had successfully secured planning permission.
"This represents a significant vote of confidence in Digbeth's burgeoning creative quarter, and the BBC has a big role to play in Birmingham's future success," he said. "Now, we aim to use this move as a catalyst for the wider regeneration and development of Digbeth as a hub for media and creativity."Image caption,Plans for the state-of-the-art base for BBC Birmingham in Digbeth's creative quarter were announced last year.

Matcha Tea Powder’s Antidepressant-like Effect through the Activation of the Dopaminergic System in Mice Is Dependent on Social Isolation StressMatcha tea powder is believed to have various physiological benefits; however, its detailed mechanism of action has been poorly understood. Here, we investigated whether the mental state of mice, due to social isolation stress, affects the antidepressant-like effect of Matcha tea powder by using the tail suspension test. Oral administration of Matcha tea powder reduced the duration of immobility in the stress-susceptible C57BL/6J strain, but not in BALB/c strain. In C57BL/6J mice, SCH23390, a dopamine D1 receptor blocker, prevented Matcha tea powder from exerting its antidepressant-like effect. Matcha tea powder also increased the number of c-Fos-positive cells in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) region and the nucleus accumbens (NAc) region in C57BL/6J mice, but not in BALB/c mice. In contrast, Matcha tea powder did not change the number of c-Fos-positive cells in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) region. Notably, C57BL/6J mice with a shorter immobility time had a higher number of c-Fos-positive cells in the PFC, NAc, and VTA regions. However, no such correlation was observed in the stress-tolerant BALB/c mice. These results suggest that Matcha tea powder exerts an antidepressant-like effect through the activation of the dopaminergic system including the PFC-NAc-VTA circuit and that mental states are important factors affecting the physiological benefits of Matcha tea powder.
