While five neurosurgery patients recovered in a hospital in Oslo, Norway, something remarkable was happening inside their ...

How does the brain take out its trash? That is the job of the brain's lymphatic drainage system, and efforts to understand how it works have pushed the boundaries of brain-imaging technologies.

A hidden waste-removal pathway in the brain has finally been caught in action. Using cutting-edge MRI scans, researchers discovered that fluid flows along the middle meningeal artery in a slow, ...

Migraine is a chronic and debilitating neurological condition affecting women 3 to 4 more times than men. Despite an estimated 1.1 billion people being impacted by the condition, the physiological ...

How does the brain take out its trash? That is the job of the brain's lymphatic drainage system, and efforts to understand how it works have pushed the boundaries of brain-imaging technologies. A new ...

Scientists at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have uncovered a non-invasive method to boost the brain’s natural waste drainage system—a discovery that they suggest could open new avenues for ...

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 ...

It’s been known for millennia that the human body accumulates waste as a result of day-to-day functioning, but it’s now recognized that the awake, active brain also builds up waste that negatively ...

As aging bodies decline, the brain loses the ability to cleanse itself of waste, a scenario that scientists think could be contributing to neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and ...

I placed the cold, jade rolling pin under my cheekbone and gently glided it to the edge of my face. To be honest, I felt a bit like a piece of pastry. But my grandma assured me that I was engaging in ...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects over 69 million people yearly, and post‑TBI cognitive impairment (CTTI) often persists for years. The brain‑lymphatic axis – the central glymphatic system and ...
