Researchers report that the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain is linked to waking brain activity. The study demonstrates that manipulating blood flow in the brain with visual stimulation ...

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 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 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 ...

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear and watery liquid that flows in and around the brain and spinal cord. Its functions include protecting parts of the nervous system, delivering nutrients and ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
