Total cerebral blood volume changes drive macroscopic cerebrospinal fluid flux in humans

The directed motion of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain is key for the distribution and removal of solutes, but how this flux is modulated is not clear. This study shows in human subjects that changes in total cerebral blood volume drive the flow of cerebrospinal fluid.

Brain Waves at Night: The Key to Preventing Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s?

Findings could pave the way for innovative strategies to tackle Alzheimer’s and various other neurological disorders. There lies a paradox in sleep. Its apparent tranquility juxtaposes with the brain’s bustling activity. The night is still, but the brain is far from dormant. During sleep, brain cel

Neural activity induced by sensory stimulation can drive large-scale cerebrospinal fluid flow during wakefulness in humans

Cerebrospinal fluid flows around the brain to remove its waste products and maintain brain health. This study shows that driving neural activity via visual stimulation can rapidly induce large-scale fluid flow. Changes in brain hemodynamics can explain this pattern, providing a way to non-invasively manipulate brain fluid dynamics in humans.
