The glymphatic system is a brain-wide fluid transport pathway that includes perivascular spaces (PVS) inflow of subarachnoid CSF followed by interstitial solute clearance 1. Failure of PVS flow leads ...

The typical signs and symptoms of idiopathic NPH are shown. In a retrospective study involving 418 patients with shunt-responsive idiopathic NPH, 96% of the patients had gait difficulty, 76% had ...

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear and watery liquid that flows in and around the brain and spinal cord. Its functions include protecting parts of the nervous system, delivering nutrients and ...

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 ...

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 ...

Few scientists doubt that backed-up clearance of detritus from the brain correlates with accumulation of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. But which comes first? Data presented at the 9th ...

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 ...
