A choroid plexus cyst is a small, fluid-filled space that occurs in a gland in the brain called the choroid plexus. This gland is located on both the left and right sides of the brain, and the fluid ...

Choroid plexus tumors are growths in the area of the brain that produces cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). They may be cancerous or noncancerous. Choroid plexus tumors are rare. They develop in the choroid ...

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 ...

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 ...

Inflammaging, describes the increase in an inflammatory alteration in the brain, due to aging and predicts the morbidity and mortality in older humans. To understand the origins, scientists have ...

Once viewed merely as a producer of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) bathing the brain and spinal cord, the choroid plexus is now known to be a key player in brain development and immunity. These fronds ...

The choroid plexus, which makes up the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier in the central nervous system (CNS), lines the ventricles, produces cerebrospinal fluid, and protects the brain via a physical ...

A choroid plexus cyst is a buildup of fluid found in the choroid section of an unborn baby’s brain. It’s estimated that choroid plexus cysts happen in about 2% of pregnancies, usually during the ...

OAK BROOK, Ill. – Increased volume of an important structure in the brain called the choroid plexus is linked to greater cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease, according to a new study ...

Floating in fluid deep in the brain are small, little understood fronds of tissue. Two new studies reveal that these miniature organs are a hotbed of immune system activity. This activity may protect ...
