Study insights could improve current understanding of neurodegenerative diseases as well as interpretations of brain scans.

New University of Virginia School of Medicine research suggests an unexpected way doctors may be able to improve blood flow to the brain to battle Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases.

The brain is one of the body’s most energy-demanding organs, accounting for 2 percent of the body’s weight but consuming 20 ...

All day long, our brains carry out complicated and energy-intensive tasks such as remembering, solving problems, and making decisions. To supply the energy these tasks require while conserving this ...

New research suggests an unexpected way doctors may be able to improve blood flow to the brain to battle Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases.

To simulate blood flow inside brain aneurysms, researchers from Japan have developed a computational method that combines 4D flow MRI, computational fluid dynamics, and data assimilation, which ...

Microplastics may cause blockages in blood vessels in the brain and affect behavior, according to a study on mice.

Healthy blood vessels matter for more than just heart health. Vascular well-being is critical for brain health and potentially in addressing age-related cognitive decline and neurodegenerative ...

AMES, Iowa – People with less consistent brain blood flow patterns may be at greater risk of dementia and cerebrovascular disease. To explore whether regular aerobic exercise can help, researchers at ...

STAT's earpiece, a small wearable designed to monitor CBF, in order to better understand how the measurement is related to conditions.

Cerebrospinal fluid flow was suppressed while blood flow increased, and then surged into the brain as blood flow ebbed when the stimulation stopped, the team reports March 30 in PLOS Biology.
