New University of Virginia School of Medicine research suggests an unexpected way doctors may be able to improve blood flow to the brain to battle Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases.

All day long, our brains carry out complicated and energy-intensive tasks such as remembering, solving problems, and making decisions. To supply the energy these tasks require while conserving this ...

Researchers report that the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain is linked to waking brain activity. The study demonstrates that manipulating blood flow in the brain with visual stimulation ...

Researchers have uncovered a potential route to developing the first ever drug treatments for vascular dementia that directly target a cause of the condition. The research has shed light on how high ...

When biomedical researchers need to test their latest ideas, they often turn to engineered human tissue that mimics the ...

To simulate blood flow inside brain aneurysms, researchers from Japan have developed a computational method that combines 4D flow MRI, computational fluid dynamics, and data assimilation, which ...

A sudden restriction of blood flow to the brain. That's how scientists have traditionally explained why people faint. But several mysteries remain: What causes someone's blood flow to spontaneously ...

Microplastics in the bloodstream may cause blockages the brain and affect our brain functioning and behavior, according to recent research. Environmental biologists tested the effects of microplastics ...

STAT Health calls the human ear a “biometric gold mine.” The startup, which emerged out of stealth this morning, is talking specifically about cerebral blood flow (CBF). That’s pretty much what it ...

A pipeline stent is a treatment for a brain aneurysm. It’s a minimally invasive procedure that blocks blood flow through the affected part of the blood vessel. Doctors treat brain aneurysms at risk of ...
