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 ...

The space between the arachnoid and pia meningeal layers encasing the brain is a landscape of connective tissue, blood vessels, and cerebrospinal fluid. Scientists debate how that fluid moves within ...

Typically, CSF flow during sleep helps get rid of built-up waste from the day. Scientists wanted to know how it might be affected by sleep deprivation, so they recruited 26 volunteers to perform tasks ...

Pulsatile CSF flow dynamics increase during epochs with slower reaction times and attentional failures. (CREDIT: Nature) By 10 a.m., having had no sleep, subjects were lying in MRI scanners engaging ...

We all know the feeling, but now we know, what actually happens to us.

Fluid buildup can signal a worsening health condition or lead a patient to multiple trips to the hospital. For patients with hydrocephalus, an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain, ...

We think of our brains as many things: the seat of the mind, the place where our memories live, or perhaps the world’s most powerful supercomputer, but you might be surprised to learn that our brains ...
