Aging brains may struggle to clear out waste, contributing to memory loss and diseases like Alzheimer’s. But researchers have now found that improving the brain’s waste-draining vessels in old mice ...

Which type of surgery is the best varies, depending on the individual patient and their unique version of moyamoya and vessel anatomy. There are two major types of surgeries to increase blood flow to ...

Scientists suggest study findings could point to the future development of new treatments for age-related cognitive decline.

They create a cushion between the brain and the cranium (skull) and the spinal cord and the vertebrae (spine). The meninges also provide structural support for important blood vessels and nerves ...

These blows can rupture vital blood vessels around the brain, triggering rapid bleeding that causes instant symptoms or slowly compresses the brain, leading to a coma and eventual death.

Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have found that intracranial hemorrhages, or "brain bleeds" caused by a ruptured blood vessel in the brain, double a person’s risk of developing dementia later ...

Aging compromises the lymphatic vessels surrounding the brain, disabling waste drainage from the brain and impacting cognitive function. Researchers boosted lymphatic vessel integrity in old mice and ...

In a study published today (July 24) in Nature, researchers show that there is a hot spot of meningeal lymphatic vessels at the base of the rodent skull that is specialized to drain CSF and allow ...

A slimy barrier lining the brain’s blood vessels could hold the key to shielding the organ from the harmful effects of ageing, according to a study in mice. The finding shines a spotlight on a ...
