“Maybe the CSF can be a highway, in a way, for the flow or exchange of different things within the brain,” said Steven Proulx, who studies the CSF system at the University of Bern. A recent paper in ...

CSF transport comprises a humoral signaling pathway between the brain and the trigeminal ganglion,” they further stated. “… as such, this flow route effectively permits fluid-borne ...

Lewis had chosen to measure CSF flow in the brain’s fourth ventricle, a small cavity tucked against the cerebellum at the base of the brain. The ventricles produce CSF and act like extra shock ...

In addition to measuring the flow of CSF, the researchers were able observe and record the pulsing of lymph vessels in the neck that helps draw CSF out of the brain.

Might CSF flow change in people with brain disorders? Indeed, the fluid trekked sluggishly in people with normal-pressure hydrocephalus, despite their having enlarged perivascular subarachnoid spaces.

New anti-ageing vaccines promise to prevent diseases like Alzheimer's This has spurred scientists to wonder whether enhancing the flow of CSF could boost brain health.

To follow the flow of CSF, they injected fluorescent dye into the cisterna magna, a reservoir just above the brainstem where cerebrospinal fluid collects before circulating around the brain. After an ...

This technique could enable wearable devices to boost brain waste clearance in aging adults or patients with neurological conditions.

A device that massages the face and neck boosts the brain’s waste disposal system, suggesting it could reduce the severity of conditions like Alzheimer’s disease. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF ...
