Problems with the brain's waste clearance system could underlie many cases of dementia and help explain why poor sleep patterns and cardiovascular risk factors such as high blood pressure increase the ...

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 ...

The choice of 810 nm is also supported by photobiology: this wavelength aligns well with the absorption spectrum of cytochrome c oxidase (the mitochondrial “light receptor”) and has been widely used ...

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 ...

Sleep is often described as the body’s recovery period, but for the brain, it is more like a nightly cleaning cycle. During deep rest, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulates through brain tissue, ...
