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 ...

Yawning can help the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and venous blood flow, suggesting a regulation of neurofluids and increase ...

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 ...

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 ...

Sleep is often described as the body’s recovery period, but for the brain, it is more like a nightly cleaning cycle. During deep rest, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulates through brain tissue, ...

Deep sleep serves as a vital function which enables the body to eliminate toxic substances that develop in the brain, throughout daily activities. The brain uses increased cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) ...

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 ...

Evidence of sleep-dependent low-frequency (less than 0.1 Hz) global brain activity in the clearance of Alzheimer's disease-related toxin buildup is presented in new research. This neuronal activity ...
