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 ...

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 ...

In 10 male patients, forty-four to seventy-eight years of age, with varying degrees of respiratory insufficiency, blood and cerebrospinal fluid were drawn simultaneously from the brachial artery and ...

Researchers report that the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain is linked to waking brain activity. The study demonstrates that manipulating blood flow in the brain with visual stimulation ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Why sleep has restorative—or damaging—effects on cognition and brain health has been an enduring mystery in biology. Researchers think cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) may flush toxic waste out, “cleaning” ...

Although yawning seems like a small, everyday action, recent studies have found that it causes an unexpected reaction in the fluid protecting the brain. A research team in Australia reports that a ...
