The brain's cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pulses during deep sleep and this appears to be tied to brain wave activity and blood flow, an exploratory study showed. Large oscillations of CSF inflow to ...

To see whether massaging these vessels could boost CSF flow, the researchers built a device with a small rod attached to a 1-centimetre-wide cotton ball. They used it to stroke downwards along the ...

A few seconds later, blood will flow out of your head. Then, a watery liquid called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) will flow in, washing through your brain in rhythmic, pulsing waves.

Key points During sleep, brain waste products are cleared from the brain through enhanced flow of Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF). Removal of such waste, including beta amyloid and tau protein, is ...

To trace this cerebral plumbing, first authors Hokyung Jin, Jin-Hui Yoon, Seon Pyo Hong, and colleagues turned to the well-established Prox1-GFP mice, whose lymphatic vessels glow green under the ...

This has spurred scientists to wonder whether enhancing the flow of CSF could boost brain health. But lymphatic vessels that drain CSF have previously only been identified deep in the neck, making ...
