Any arrows drawn on diagrams of the brain and skull to show its movement ... strong in part because this idea is currently the most prominent hypothesis of CSF flow in the brain. That may change if ...

Scientists have found a way to boost the brain's system to clear waste from the organ in mice, which could open treatment ...

This diagram shows the pathways cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) takes as it flows from the brain’s surface through facial lymphatic vessels and into lymph nodes in the neck. [Institute for Basic ...

Findings from the mouse studies identify a novel non-synaptic signaling mechanism between the brain and peripheral ... gap in the barrier that allowed CSF to flow directly into the trigeminal ...

"And here, we are saying that astrocytes can tell the brain what to do." The team uncovered the glymphatic system by putting fluorescent molecules in the CSF of mice and tracing its flow.

Scientists at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have uncovered a non-invasive method to boost the brain's natural waste ...

In addition to measuring the flow of CSF, the researchers were able observe and record the pulsing of lymph vessels in the neck that helps draw CSF out of the brain. "Unlike the cardiovascular ...

The ventricles – spaces in the brain where CSF is made -- produce too much fluid. Something blocks the normal flow of fluid and causes it to build up. The bloodstream can’t absorb all the fluid.

But if a cyst grows large enough, it can block the flow of CSF, leading to a dangerous buildup in the brain known as hydrocephalus. That fluid pressure can damage brain tissues and trigger serious ...
