A study on the effects of commonly used anaesthetic and sedative drugs on cerebrospinal fluid flow and volume has uncovered findings regarding their impact on the brain's vital glymphatic system.

Idiopathic scoliosis (IS) affects 3% of children worldwide, yet the mechanisms underlying this spinal deformity remain unknown. Here we show that ptk7 mutant zebrafish, a faithful developmental model ...

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 ...

Waves of cerebrospinal fluid which normally wash over brains during sleep can be made to pulse in the brains of people who are wide awake, a new study finds. The clear fluid may flush out harmful ...

Researchers in the University of Alabama at Birmingham Department of Neurosurgery have developed the first generalizable and predictive risk scoring model to identify patients at risk of postoperative ...

Large oscillations of CSF inflow to the brain appeared about every 20 seconds and were tightly coupled to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) signals of blood flow and electroencephalogram ...

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 ...

Recent research suggests that the circulation of brain fluid could serve as an early indicator of dementia, even before the ...

Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease believed to originate from an accumulation of the toxic amyloid-βand tau proteins in the brain. Symptoms include a range of speaking, learning, and ...
