Researchers have discovered, in rodents, that fluid that circulates through the brain flows to areas critical for normal brain development and function, suggesting that disruptions to its circulation ...

A major international study has uncovered a new biological clue that could help predict dementia long before memory problems arise. Researchers from the University of Cambridge and Zhejiang University ...

A novel blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) measure showed promise as a biomarker for Parkinsonian disorders. CSF levels of DOPA decarboxylase (DDC) -- an enzyme that converts levodopa into dopamine - ...

A. The drawing shows intracranial upstream lymphatic regions #1, #2, and #3 that drain through the nasopharyngeal lymphatic plexus (NPLP) en route to medial deep cervical lymphatics and deep cervical ...

INPH typically occurs in adults more than 60 years old and is a progressive, chronic disorder without a specific identifiable cause. The classic triad of symptoms gait disturbance, cognitive ...

Brain's nightly cleaning cycle, crucial for clearing waste like beta-amyloid, falters with sleep loss. This disruption weakens the synchronisation between brain activity and cerebrospinal fluid flow, ...

In a groundbreaking study published in Nature, South Korean researchers led by Director KOH Gou Young of the Center for Vascular Research within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have uncovered a ...

Deep sleep serves as a vital function which enables the body to eliminate toxic substances that develop in the brain, throughout daily activities. The brain uses increased cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) ...

The brain floats in a sea of fluid that cushions it against injury, supplies it with nutrients and carries away waste. Disruptions to the normal ebb and flow of the fluid have been linked to ...
