A major international study has uncovered a new biological clue that could help predict dementia long before memory problems arise. Researchers from the University of Cambridge and Zhejiang University ...

This Collection welcomes studies of the dynamics of cerebrospinal fluid and cerebral circulation in health and disease. In addition to protecting the brain, and spinal cord, from impact and injury, ...

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 ...

The clinical syndrome produced by a stroke is determined by the artery or arteries that are occluded. Blood is supplied to the brain by two major sets of arteries, the anterior and posterior ...

DNA nanopyramids slip through the brain's protective barrier and release cancer drugs only when they detect the acidic ...

Your brain doesn’t lose nerve cells as it ages nearly as much as we used to think. According to research by Dr. Morrison and colleagues at Mt. Sinai Medical School, earlier estimates that up to1% of ...

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 ...
