The brain floats in a sea of fluid that cushions it against injury, supplies it with nutrients and carries away waste. Disruptions to the normal ebb and flow of the fluid have been linked to ...

Cerebral venous thrombosis is a rare form of cerebral circulatory disorder that, unlike classic stroke, more often affects younger people. For unknown reasons, blood clots (thrombi) form in cerebral ...

BACKGROUND: The disruption of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) is a central pathogenic event in many central nervous system disorders. However, the mechanisms regulating BBB function remain incompletely ...

Scientists have identified a new mechanism that may underlie cerebral circulatory disorders in vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease. We are talking about a deficiency of phospholipid PIP2, a ...

Cerebral venous thrombosis is a rare, often severe disease that has been brought to public attention by the Covid 19 pandemic. A research group from Würzburg has now succeeded for the first time in ...

The lungs and the central nervous system are closely linked through blood circulation and neural pathways. Lung diseases can affect brain structure and ...

Researchers have discovered, in rodents, that fluid that circulates through the brain flows to areas critical for normal brain development and function, suggesting that disruptions to its circulation ...

Cerebral venous thrombosis is a rare, often severe disease that has been brought to public attention by the COVID-19 pandemic. A research group has now succeeded for the first time in deciphering a ...
