Turns out the brain needs regular cleaning. Otherwise, it gets clogged up with waste products, including some associated with diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. NPR's Jon Hamilton reports ...
A new Alzheimer’s therapy has shown potential in the first human trials. Researchers at the West Virginia University Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute (RNI) found that by pairing focused ultrasound ...
Aging compromises the lymphatic vessels (green) in tissue called the meninges (blue) surrounding the brain, disabling waste drainage from the brain and impacting cognitive function. Researchers at ...
Surgery to remove brain tumors comes with risks, one being that it may cause damage to the surrounding brain tissues. Researchers have found that biomarkers found in the blood are a useful new tool ...
Poor sleep among older adults is linked to disruptions in the brain's "waste removal system," according to researchers at The University of Hong Kong (HKU). A recent study led by Professor Tatia M.C.
