A UCSF team finds a liver protein, released with exercise, that improves memory in aging and Alzheimer’s disease by repairing the brain’s blood vessels. It's the missing link between exercise and ...

MIT researchers have discovered that two common genetic mutations that cause Rett syndrome each set off a molecular chain of events that compromises the structural integrity of developing brain blood ...

Brain freeze — the sharp, seconds-long headache we get from ingesting something cold — is rooted in the way our brain senses ...

Exercise may sharpen the mind by repairing the brain’s protective shield. Researchers found that physical activity prompts the liver to release an enzyme that removes a harmful protein causing the ...

The UB team that a decade ago helped usher in a new era in acute stroke treatment has turned its innovative approach to addressing the rare but potentially deadly phenomena when multiple blood clots ...

New noninvasive tools reveal that subtle shifts in brain blood flow and oxygen use may mirror key markers of Alzheimer’s risk ...

A new study suggests that dementia may be driven in part by faulty blood flow in the brain. Researchers found that losing a key lipid causes blood vessels to become overactive, disrupting circulation ...

Subtle changes in how blood flows through the brain and how brain tissue uses oxygen may be closely linked to Alzheimer's ...

Building upon the success of the first in utero brain surgery for Vein of Galen Malformation (VOGM) reported in 2023, new data published today in JAMA provides further evidence for the potential use ...

Cerebrovascular disease is a group of disorders that affects blood flow and involves at least one blood vessel in the brain. These issues can include blockages or bleeding. There are several types of ...
