This Collection welcomes studies of the dynamics of cerebrospinal fluid and cerebral circulation in health and disease. In addition to protecting the brain, and spinal cord, from impact and injury, ...

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 ...

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 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 study is looking at how cerebral spinal fluid draining could be enhanced in older adults and the implications for neurodegenerative diseases. | Adobe.com Add this to the list of potential targets to ...

Carefully timed bursts of carbon dioxide are emerging as a surprising tool to help the brain wash away toxic proteins linked to Parkinson’s disease. Instead of a new pill or implant, researchers are ...

Sleep deprivation triggers CSF movements during wakefulness, briefly pushing the brain into a sleep-like state that disrupts ...

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 ...
