The choroid plexus produces about a half-liter of cerebrospinal fluid daily, meaning this much must be drained from the cranial cavity into the bloodstream. A new study led by Steven Proulx, Swiss ...

The 2015 discovery of lymphatic vessels in the brain’s meninges threw open a door to seeing how this still-mysterious organ clears waste. Subsequent work showed that these vessels, which reside in the ...

This diagram shows the pathways cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) takes as it flows from the brain’s surface through facial lymphatic vessels and into lymph nodes in the neck. Scientists at the Institute for ...

In this Innovation Spotlight, Dan Levangie, president and chief executive officer of CereVasc, discusses a new treatment strategy for NPH using an endovascularly implantable CSF shunt that minimizes ...

Researchers in Switzerland suggest that helping the brain to flush out toxic proteins could represent a new approach to preventing or treating age-related neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s ...

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 ...

Winner of the Synthes Skull Base Award, Nathan T. Zwagerman, MD, presented his research, A Prospective, Randomized Control Trial for Lumbar Drain Placement after Endoscopic Endonasal Skull Base ...

New research reveals that a particular group of lymphatic vessels plays a pivotal role in helping the brain dispose of waste. It also suggests that deterioration of these vessels through aging could ...
