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 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 ...

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 ...

Few scientists doubt that backed-up clearance of detritus from the brain correlates with accumulation of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. But which comes first? Data presented at the 9th ...

Brain's nightly cleaning cycle, crucial for clearing waste like beta-amyloid, falters with sleep loss. This disruption ...
