Iliff and colleagues used two gadolinium-based MRI contrast agents to trace glymphatic flow through the rat brains—the low-molecular-weight Gd-DTPA (938 Da), which is routinely used in humans, often ...

Early on, Nedergaard and Iliff, a glial cell biologist and a vascular physiologist, respectively, hypothesized that waste ...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most commonly used tests in neurology and neurosurgery. MRI provides exquisite detail of brain, spinal cord and vascular anatomy, and has the advantage ...

CSF transport comprises a humoral signaling pathway between the brain and the trigeminal ganglion,” they further stated. “… as such, this flow route effectively permits fluid-borne ...

The brain's cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pulses during deep sleep and this appears to be tied to brain wave activity and blood flow, an exploratory study showed. Large oscillations of CSF inflow to ...

Preliminary results reveal that blood flow occurred in a different part of the brain during close reading. This research was born out of an interest in how these types of reading engages the brain.
