A new study has suggested that long Covid, which refers to 'SARS-CoV-2' symptoms that persist despite having healed from the initial infection, and Alzheimer's disease may share processes by which one ...

Daytime “wash cycles” help clear waste from the brain but cause momentary drops in attention after nights of poor sleep.

Younger patients and those with earlier-stage disease showed the most robust treatment effects, while older children retained critical functional abilities, such as verbal communication and ...

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

A new study reveals a hidden brain defense: base barrier cells. These cells form a molecular seal in the choroid plexus, acting as a gatekeeper against systemic inflammation and potential ...

A prospective cohort collected CSF and blood at baseline, post–IV acetaminophen, and 24 hours post-TKA, with pain recorded at rest and activity using the DVPRS. Patients undergoing TKA demonstrated ...

A new MRI technique called Velocity Spectrum Imaging can map fluid movement in the human brain within a 3D pixel, according ...

Background: Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a rare demyelinating disease of the central nervous system usually ...

Without gravity pulling downward, the brain floats in the skull and experiences various forces from the surrounding soft tissues and the skull itself. Earlier studies showed that ...

A single intravenous infusion of adeno-associated virus serotype 9 encoding beta-galactosidase (AAV9-GLB1) was associated with short-lived adverse events, increased beta-galactosidase levels, and ...

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-based molecular tests can reliably distinguish multiple sclerosis (MS) from other neurological ...

One key role of sleep involves cerebrospinal fluid, which surrounds and protects the brain. During sleep, CSF helps remove waste that accumulates during waking hours. In a 2019 study, Lewis and her ...
