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 ...
Although yawning seems like a small, everyday action, recent studies have found that it causes an unexpected reaction in the ...
Have you ever felt particularly distracted after a night of too little sleep? That feeling of mental fog, where thoughts seem ...
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 ...

Problems with the brain's waste clearance system could underlie many cases of dementia and help explain why poor sleep patterns and cardiovascular risk factors such as high blood pressure increase the ...
One key role of sleep involves cerebrospinal fluid, which surrounds and protects the brain. During sleep, CSF helps remove waste that accumulates during waking hours. In a 2019 study, Lewis and her ...
