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 ...

The brain's cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pulses during deep sleep and this appears to be tied to brain wave activity and blood flow, an exploratory study showed. Large oscillations of CSF inflow to the ...

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 ...

Research headed by teams at the University of Rochester Center for Translational Medicine and the University of Copenhagen describes for the first time how a spreading wave of disruption and the flow ...

Chiari malformation type I (CMI) is a congenital neurological disorder characterized by the herniation of cerebellar tonsils through the foramen magnum, leading to impaired cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) ...

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, ...

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 ...
