Your sleeping brain is not quiet. Electrical waves roll across it, blood vessels rhythmically change size and cerebrospinal ...

Carefully timed sounds can make fluid waves larger in the sleeping brain, giving researchers a new way to study how brain activity and CSF flow are connected.

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 ...

Hydrocephalus, commonly referred to as "water on the brain," is a dangerous and potentially deadly condition that can harm the brain. For more than a century, physicians have believed that the buildup ...

Boston researchers say they've invented and filed a patent for a sleep-focused tech headband after their study's findings.
