Using various imaging techniques, the scientists tied abdominal movements to shifts in mouse brains and the movement of ...

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 ...

A recent study on the effects of commonly used anaesthetic and sedative drugs on cerebrospinal fluid flow and volume has uncovered significant findings regarding their impact on the brain's vital ...

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 ...

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 ...

The brain is more mechanically connected to the body than previously appreciated, scientists report in Nature Neuroscience.

Millions of people worldwide suffer from hydrocephalus, or a buildup of excess cerebrospinal fluid in the brain, and which recently received greater attention when Billy Joel announced his diagnosis.

This depiction of hydrocephalus shows the brain and its ventricles. The dark areas indicate the massive enlargement of the ventricles that can occur during hydrocephalus.  Hydrocephalus, commonly ...

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 ...

Laura Lewis, the study’s senior author and an associate professor at MIT’s Institute for Medical Engineering and Science, framed the implication directly: “This close linkage between disparate events ...
