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

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 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.

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 ...

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 ...

Recent research suggests that the circulation of brain fluid could serve as an early indicator of dementia, even before the onset of memory problems. This discovery underscores the potential of ...

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 ...
