STAT Health calls the human ear a “biometric gold mine.” The startup, which emerged out of stealth this morning, is talking specifically about cerebral blood flow (CBF). That’s pretty much what it ...

Researchers have uncovered a potential route to developing the first ever drug treatments for vascular dementia that directly target a cause of the condition. The research has shed light on how high ...

All day long, our brains carry out complicated and energy-intensive tasks such as remembering, solving problems, and making decisions. To supply the energy these tasks require while conserving this ...

Microplastics in the bloodstream may cause blockages the brain and affect our brain functioning and behavior, according to recent research. Environmental biologists tested the effects of microplastics ...

To simulate blood flow inside brain aneurysms, researchers from Japan have developed a computational method that combines 4D flow MRI, computational fluid dynamics, and data assimilation, which ...

Researchers have, for the first time, visualized the full network of blood vessels across the cortex of awake mice, finding that blood vessels rhythmically expand and contract leading to 'waves' ...

New University of Virginia School of Medicine research suggests an unexpected way doctors may be able to improve blood flow to the brain to battle Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases.
