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 ...

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 ...

Hair-like cilia maintain the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid within the ventricles of the brain. This circulating fluid is important for nerve cell development and for maintaining brain function.

Brain's nightly cleaning cycle, crucial for clearing waste like beta-amyloid, falters with sleep loss. This disruption weakens the synchronisation between brain activity and cerebrospinal fluid flow, ...

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 ...
