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 ...

Researchers have discovered, in rodents, that fluid that circulates through the brain flows to areas critical for normal brain development and function, suggesting that disruptions to its circulation ...

Evidence of sleep-dependent low-frequency (less than 0.1 Hz) global brain activity in the clearance of Alzheimer's disease-related toxin buildup is presented in new research. This neuronal activity ...

Researchers identify tanycytes as a critical mechanism for clearing toxic tau protein from the brain, offering a new target ...

Q: I have always liked how yawning feels and wondered what it's for. I just read there is new information about how yawning affects your brain. Do you know anything about that? Also, do we know ...

Using rodent and cellular models, the researchers showed that tanycytes take up tau from the CSF and release it into pituitary portal capillaries.
