Some brain cells can resist the toxic processes associated with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Scientists ...

National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke investigators at the National Institutes of Health traced meningeal immune activity to dural venous sinuses that actively constrict and dilate, ...

In Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, a protein called tau can pile up inside brain cells and form toxic clumps. Those clumps help drive memory loss and other symptoms.

VIB and Ghent University researchers have identified and characterized a previously unknown cellular barrier in the brain, ...

Veins in the skull can rearrange their borders to accommodate patrolling immune cells, a strange behaviour called ruffling.

When most of us picture the brain, we imagine billions of nerve cells flashing with electrical activity, carrying thoughts, memories and commands from one region to another. Those cells, called ...

A new study reveals a hidden brain defense: base barrier cells. These cells form a molecular seal in the choroid plexus, acting as a gatekeeper against systemic inflammation and potential ...

Disrupted brain fluid clearance in the hemisphere opposite the tumor emerges as a strong independent predictor of survival in patients with IDH wild-type glioblastoma. Glioblastoma—the most aggressive ...

An explosion does not need to strike the head to injure the brain. When a blast occurs, it generates a sudden pressure wave ...
