Scientists have identified a breakdown in cholesterol transport to neurons in Alzheimer’s disease, a defect linked to the ...

This moving dot depicts something few people have ever seen: fresh cerebrospinal fluid flowing from the spinal cord into the ...

Neural activity induced by sensory stimulation can drive large-scale cerebrospinal fluid flow during wakefulness in humans. PLOS Biology, 2023; 21 (3): e3002035 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pbio.3002035 ...

The study, which was published in the Journal of Lipid Research, found that people with Alzheimer’s disease experience a ...

Immune cell profiling of the cerebrospinal fluid enables the characterization of the brain metastasis microenvironment. Nature Communications, 2021; 12 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-21789-x ...

Cerebrospinal fluid is a watery liquid that continually circulates through the brain’s ventricles and around the surface of the brain and spinal cord. It acts like a cushion that helps protect ...

Cerebrospinal fluid flow was suppressed while blood flow increased, and then surged into the brain as blood flow ebbed when the stimulation stopped, the team reports March 30 in PLOS Biology.

Cerebrospinal fluid leaks are relatively rare, occurring in approximately five in 100,000 individuals worldwide every year. They are most commonly caused by trauma or surgery, according to the CSF ...
