A novel blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) measure showed promise as a biomarker for Parkinsonian disorders. CSF levels of DOPA decarboxylase (DDC) -- an enzyme that converts levodopa into dopamine - ...

A CSF leak within the spinal column is the most common identifiable cause of spontaneous intracranial hypotension. 3 The mechanism underlying headache and neurologic manifestations is presumed to be ...

The space between the arachnoid and pia meningeal layers encasing the brain is a landscape of connective tissue, blood vessels, and cerebrospinal fluid. Scientists debate how that fluid moves within ...

Research headed by teams at the University of Rochester Center for Translational Medicine and the University of Copenhagen describes for the first time how a spreading wave of disruption and the flow ...

Using single-cell sequencing, researchers found distinct immune profiles in different CNS tumors, highlighting its potential as a prognostic tool.

Bagged in three layers of meninges and selectively fenced off by the blood brain barrier, our central nervous system (CNS) interacts within strict limits with our immune system. Protective ...

A popular hypothesis for how the brain clears molecular waste, which may help explain why sleep feels refreshing, is a subject of debate. Encased in the skull, perched atop the spine, the brain has a ...

The growth of the Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Management Market is primarily driven by the rising incidence of neurological disorders such as hydrocephalus, brain injuries, and spinal cord conditions, ...

Massage might help your brain flow regain its mojo. On June 4 in Nature, researchers led by Gou Young Koh at the Institute for Basic Science in Daejeon, South Korea, mapped the labyrinth of lymphatics ...

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a type of clear liquid that surrounds, protects, and cushions your brain and spinal cord from possible injuries. The fluid is held in place by the dura mater, a dense ...
