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 ...

Researchers found that individuals have distinct baseline levels of brain-derived proteins in cerebrospinal fluid, masking ...

A new study reveals a hidden brain defense: base barrier cells. These cells form a molecular seal in the choroid plexus, acting as a gatekeeper against systemic inflammation and potential ...

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 ...

A novel blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) measure showed promise as a biomarker for Parkinsonian disorders. CSF levels of DOPA decarboxylase (DDC) -- an enzyme that converts levodopa into dopamine - ...

INPH typically occurs in adults more than 60 years old and is a progressive, chronic disorder without a specific identifiable cause. The classic triad of symptoms gait disturbance, cognitive ...

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 ...
