Yawning has an unusual and unexpected effect on the flow of fluid protecting the brain, a recent study reveals, though it's ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Deep sleep serves as a vital function which enables the body to eliminate toxic substances that develop in the brain, throughout daily activities. The brain uses increased cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) ...

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, ...
