A new Penn State study finds that tiny core contractions, the small tensing you do when you stand up or take a step, ...

Damaged proteins that have accumulated and formed tangles in the brain have been linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Treatments that aim to eliminate those ...

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 could open new avenues for tackling ...

Scientists have long wondered about the network of pathways in the brain that is believed to clear metabolic wastes. Wastes include proteins such as amyloid and tau, which have been shown to form ...

Problems with the brain's waste clearance system could underlie many cases of dementia and help explain why poor sleep patterns and cardiovascular risk factors such as high blood pressure increase the ...

A new study definitively reveals the existence of a system that had been theorized to clear metabolic wastes in the human brain. The study uses imaging in neurosurgery patients to show how brain's ...

Is the brain's clearance system involved? The UNIGE research team focused on 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, a genetic condition associated with a 30-40% risk of developing psychotic symptoms. This ...

A good night’s sleep does more than just help you feel rested, it might literally clear your mind, according to the results of newly reported research by scientists at the University of Rochester and ...
