Enhancing prefrontal cortex (PFC) cognitive functions requires identifying suitable exercises that increase cerebral blood flow. A recent study using functional near-infrared spectroscopy found that ...

A new study suggests that dementia may be driven in part by faulty blood flow in the brain. Researchers found that losing a key lipid causes blood vessels to become overactive, disrupting circulation ...

Blocking calcium channels in brain capillaries may enhance blood flow and alleviate early-stage Alzheimer's damage, new study suggests. Study: Inhibiting Ca 2+ channels in Alzheimer’s disease model ...

Measuring blood flow in the brain is critical for understanding response to a range of neurological problems, including stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and vascular dementia. Obtaining such ...

Dementia has long been framed as a slow, irreversible loss of neurons, but a new line of research is shifting attention to the blood vessels that feed the brain. Scientists are now testing whether ...
