Healthy brain function relies on a steady supply of blood. Disruptions in blood flow are linked to major neurological conditions like stroke, Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and traumatic brain injuries.

Risk assessment Researchers from Caltech and the Keck School of Medicine at USC have created a portable laser-based headset that can estimate stroke risk. Caltech postdoctoral scholar Simon Mahler is ...

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.

A new study in mice describes how the brain rapidly and efficiently increases blood flow to active areas where oxygen and nutrients are needed most. The work shows that the brain relies on a ...

Measuring blood flow in the brain is critical for understanding response to a range of neurological problems, including stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and vascular dementia. Obtaining such ...

Stress may lead to altered blood flow in the brain, reveals a new study. The findings may give vital clues to the exact causes of neurodegenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s and dementia, say ...

Measuring blood flow in the brain is critical for responding to a range of neurological problems, including stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and vascular dementia. But existing techniques, ...

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 ...

Scientists have found that adding a missing phospholipid back into the bloodstream might help improve blood flow and reduce ...

A nanomaterial based on a platform developed by Professor Samuel Stupp crosses the blood-brain barrier and targets harmful ...
