This depiction of hydrocephalus shows the brain and its ventricles. The dark areas indicate the massive enlargement of the ventricles that can occur during hydrocephalus.  Hydrocephalus, commonly ...

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 ...

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 ...

Impact of Broadening Trial Eligibility Criteria on the Inclusion of Patients With Brain Metastases in Cancer Clinical Trials: Time Series Analyses for 2012-2022 Effective diagnosis, prognostication, ...

Bagged in three layers of meninges and selectively fenced off by the blood brain barrier, our central nervous system (CNS) interacts within strict limits with our immune system. Protective ...

Cerebrospinal fluid washes waste from the brain, eventually draining into the lymph nodes and bloodstream—but exactly how this flow bypasses the brain’s barriers to reach the periphery has remained ...

Typically, CSF flow during sleep helps get rid of built-up waste from the day. Scientists wanted to know how it might be affected by sleep deprivation, so they recruited 26 volunteers to perform tasks ...

Scientists have long believed that the pia, the innermost of the three meningeal membranes that surround the brain, is impermeable to cerebrospinal fluid. But the pia has been hard to study. This ...

Emerging research has identified a potential biological connection between autism spectrum disorder and Alzheimer's disease, ...
