Increased volume of the choroid plexus, which produces and secretes cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), was tied to cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease, a retrospective study showed. Among 532 adults ...

The human brain, like the brain of other mammals, is known to start developing before birth, via a coordinated sequence of molecular and cellular processes. Neuroscience studies have found that the ...

A major international study has uncovered a new biological clue that could help predict dementia long before memory problems arise. Researchers from the University of Cambridge and Zhejiang University ...

An observation by Finnish researchers shows that the central nervous system plays an important role in complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Aalto University neuroscientists, in collaboration with ...

A grape-like structure in the brain called the choroid plexus becomes enlarged and shows increased accumulation of abnormal inflammatory molecular signaling in people with Alzheimer's disease, ...

Proteins floating in the cerebrospinal fluid might do more than diagnose Alzheimer’s disease—they may identify different subtypes, according to researchers led by Betty Tijms of the Amsterdam ...

The choroid plexus (ChP), located within the ventricles of the brain, produce the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It plays a central role in regulating inflammatory cells in the central nervous system (CNS ...

Up to three quarters of patients receiving cancer chemotherapy suffer from "chemo brain" - a long-term side effect that makes it harder to remember things, maintain attention, and learn new ...

A group of scientists investigated why the choroid plexus contains so much more klotho than other brain regions.They showed that klotho functions as a gatekeeper that shields the brain from the ...
