Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed a technique to noninvasively visualize the brain's waste-removal ...

A study on the effects of commonly used anaesthetic and sedative drugs on cerebrospinal fluid flow and volume has uncovered findings regarding their impact on the brain's vital glymphatic system.

The glymphatic system is a brain-wide fluid transport pathway that includes perivascular spaces (PVS) inflow of subarachnoid CSF followed by interstitial solute clearance 1. Failure of PVS flow leads ...

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow dynamics play a critical role in clearing pathological proteins from the brain, which may potentially influence the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. We aimed ...

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 ...

Scientists at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have uncovered a non-invasive method to boost the brain’s natural waste drainage system—a discovery that they suggest could open new avenues for ...

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 ...

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 ...

A popular hypothesis for how the brain clears molecular waste, which may help explain why sleep feels refreshing, is a subject of debate. Encased in the skull, perched atop the spine, the brain has a ...

A recent study on the effects of commonly used anesthetic and sedative drugs on cerebrospinal fluid flow and volume has uncovered significant findings regarding their impact on the brain's vital ...
