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 ...

University of Cincinnati researchers have pioneered an animal model that sheds light on the role an understudied organ in the brain has in repairing damage caused by stroke. The research team focused ...

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 ...

A longitudinal, observational study found that the choroid plexus, a network of blood vessels in each ventricle of the brain, plays a potential role in the neurodegenerative and chronic inflammatory ...

New work offers an unprecedented real-time view of the choroid plexus in a mouse model, providing a glimpse of how disturbances of the mother's immune system during pregnancy disrupt the developing ...

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 ...

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 cerebrospinal fluid from young mice is awash with factors that keep the brain sharp. Now, scientists led by Tony Wyss-Coray at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, report that when ...

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 ...
