A multitude of genes have been linked to the development of Alzheimer's disease. Specifically how those genes might influence the progression of neurodegeneration remains something of a black box ...

Fighting Alzheimer’s disease is a race against time. By the time most patients are diagnosed and treated, their cognitive symptoms have already advanced significantly. New research, though, pinpoints ...

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulates through the central nervous system, providing mechanical protection, nutrient delivery and metabolic waste clearance. In recent years, the concept of a glymphatic ...

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 ...

Radboudumc researchers used metabolomics to study cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from tuberculous meningitis patients in Vietnam and Indonesia, with long-standing collaborators from Bandung and ...

Brain-derived extracellular vesicle (EV) biomarkers represent a promising frontier for liquid biopsy development targeting the nervous system. They offer strong potential for enabling minimally ...

The rapid influx of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) and protein solutes released during cortical spreading depression (CSD) in the brain activates neurons to trigger aural migraine headaches, according to ...

A new study definitively reveals the existence of a system that had been theorized to clear metabolic wastes in the human brain. The study uses imaging in neurosurgery patients to show how brain's ...
