Yawning can impact the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and venous blood flow, suggesting a regulation of neurofluids and increase in carotid arterial blood flow.

Although yawning seems like a small, everyday action, recent studies have found that it causes an unexpected reaction in the ...

Yawning has long been dismissed as a sign of boredom or fatigue, a social cue we mostly try to suppress in meetings and on video calls. New brain imaging work suggests that instinct is misplaced. When ...

The brain's cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pulses during deep sleep and this appears to be tied to brain wave activity and blood flow, an exploratory study showed. Large oscillations of CSF inflow to the ...

Research headed by teams at the University of Rochester Center for Translational Medicine and the University of Copenhagen describes for the first time how a spreading wave of disruption and the flow ...

Pulsatile CSF flow dynamics increase during epochs with slower reaction times and attentional failures. (CREDIT: Nature) By 10 a.m., having had no sleep, subjects were lying in MRI scanners engaging ...

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 they suggest could open new avenues for ...

VIRTUAL MEETING (CST), November 22, 2020 -- Swelling is one of the most dangerous and immediate consequences of a brain injury or stroke. Doctors have long known about the dangers of swelling, which ...
