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 ...

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 ...

Oct. 21, 2002 — Low-flow cerebroventricular shunting may be worth investigating further in Alzheimer's disease, according to the authors of a pilot study reported in the Oct. 22 issue of Neurology.

Although yawning seems like a small, everyday action, recent studies have found that it causes an unexpected reaction in the ...

When judging the utility of cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers in Alzheimer disease, it may be less a question of if, but rather when and in whom. In this week’s Journal of Neuroscience, scientists report ...

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 ...

Post-hemorrhagic ventricular dilatation (PHVD) is predictive of mortality and morbidity among very-low-birth-weight preterm infants. Impaired cerebral blood flow (CBF) due to elevated intracranial ...

In 10 male patients, forty-four to seventy-eight years of age, with varying degrees of respiratory insufficiency, blood and cerebrospinal fluid were drawn simultaneously from the brachial artery and ...

Stem cells in the brain can divide and mature into neurons participating in various brain functions, including memory. In a new study, scientists have shown how this works. They found that ion ...
