Just like your body needs a bath now and then, so too does your #brain – but instead of a tub filled with hot water, your brain has #cerebrospinal fluid, which flows around inside the brain and helps clear away waste products, misplaced blood cells, and other sometimes-toxic debris.

Alzheimer's comes in at least 5 distinct forms, study reveals

Knowing that Alzheimer's comes in at least five distinct forms could change the treatment landscape, the scientists behind the new study say.

Throughout the day and night, #cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pulses through small fluid-filled channels surrounding blood vessels in the #brain, called #perivascular spaces, to flush out #neuroinflammation and other #neurological waste.

Enlarged Spaces in Infant Brains Linked to Higher Risk of Autism, Sleep Problems

These results suggest that perivascular spaces could serve as an early marker for autism

Post #COVID-19 condition does not appear to be linked to direct #viral invasion of the brain or active #brain damage. This has been shown by a study at the University of Gothenburg. Searching for abnormal biomarkers among the participants yielded no hits in either #blood or #cerebrospinal fluid samples.

Sensory cells taste cerebrospinal fluid to fight brain infections

Sensory neurons pick up information from our senses and relay it to the rest of the nervous system. But this is not their only mission. In a new study published in the journal Current Biology, Claire Wyart at the Paris Brain Institute, and Christina Vandenbroucke-Grauls at the Amsterdam University Medical Centers, have shown that sensory neurons in the central nervous system play a leading role in pneumococcal meningitis, a severe infection with a high mortality rate and strong epidemic potential. They help fight infection and promote host survival.

P-tau217 and p-tau181 are some of the earliest known markers of #Alzheimers disease, rising in blood and #cerebrospinal fluid 20 years before symptoms appear. But what do these markers mean?
