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.

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 ...

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 at Boston University, USA report that the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain is linked to waking brain activity. Led by Stephanie Williams, and publishing in the open access journal ...

Recent research suggests that the circulation of brain fluid could serve as an early indicator of dementia, even before the onset of memory problems. This discovery underscores the potential of ...

Every night, while the body rests, the brain orchestrates a vital cleanup operation. Cerebrospinal fluid, which bathes the ...

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 ...

Fluid buildup can signal a worsening health condition or lead a patient to multiple trips to the hospital. For patients with hydrocephalus, an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain, ...

Researchers led by Masako Tamaki at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science in Japan report a link between deep sleep and cerebrospinal fluid, the clear liquid that surrounds and supports the brain and ...
