The glymphatic system enables the flow of cerebrospinal fluid to the brain tissue, particularly during sleep, enabling the fluid to cleanse the tissue and carry accumulated metabolites with it towards ...

If you find it hard to focus after a wakeful night, it’s because your brain is busy trying to catch up on crucial ...

Massage might help your brain flow regain its mojo. On June 4 in Nature, researchers led by Gou Young Koh at the Institute for Basic Science in Daejeon, South Korea, mapped the labyrinth of lymphatics ...

Researchers at Boston University, USA report that the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain is linked to waking brain activity. Led by Stephanie Williams, and publishing in the open access journal ...

Researchers report that the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain is linked to waking brain activity. The study demonstrates that manipulating blood flow in the brain with visual stimulation ...

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 ...

Impaired glymphatic function — the brain’s waste clearance system — could help explain how cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors may drive dementia. In a large UK Biobank study, MRI markers of ...

Hydrocephalus is an excess of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain’s ventricles. Surgery is the first-line and most effective treatment. The two primary surgeries are the Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) ...
