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 ...

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 ...

Although yawning seems like a small, everyday action, recent studies have found that it causes an unexpected reaction in the fluid protecting the brain. A research team in Australia reports that a ...

Your brain ventricles are four fluid-filled chambers that produce cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid helps nourish your brain and protect it from injury. It would be easy to argue that your brain is the ...

This Collection welcomes studies of the dynamics of cerebrospinal fluid and cerebral circulation in health and disease. In addition to protecting the brain, and spinal cord, from impact and injury, ...

A new MRI technique called Velocity Spectrum Imaging can map fluid movement in the human brain within a 3D pixel, according to a University of Michigan Engineering study published in Magnetic ...

MRI image of the brain with the lateral ventricles colored in blue. The ventricles are filled with cerebrospinal fluid. Researchers led by Masako Tamaki at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science in Japan ...

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 ...
