“Glymphatic” Neurodegeneration: Is Sleep the Missing Key?
Robust evidence suggests that the glymphatic system plays a key role in preserving brain health. Indeed, its activity in maintaining homeostasis by clearing neurotoxic proteins such as beta-amyloid from the human brain is essential.

The glymphatic system is a glial-dependent waste clearance pathway in the central nervous system (CNS) of vertebrates that exploits the perivascular compartment between the vascular basement membrane (outermost wall of blood vessels) and astrocytic ...

Abstract Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) contributes to brain waste clearance through its coupling with cerebral haemodynamics. Aerobic exercise promotes brain health, but its influence on brain waste clearance remains unclear. This study examined the coupling between CSF and cerebral haemodynamics in endurance athletes. Fifteen young male endurance athletes

Brain strain: Blood flow and metabolism in environmental extremes
Abstract This narrative review compares and contrasts the most commonly encountered environmental stressors on human cerebrovascular functioning. From high altitude and space, extreme apnoea, heat and cold stress, the impact of these stressors on the regulation of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and oxygen metabolism (CMRO2${\mathrm{CM}}{{\mathrm{R}}_ ...

ABSTRACT Basal and standard metabolic rate (BMR and SMR) are cornerstones of physiological ecology and are assumed to be relatively fixed intrinsic properties of organisms that represent the minimum energy required to sustain life. However, this assumption is conceptually flawed. Many core maintenance processes underlying SMR are temporally partitioned

Foreign body responses in central nervous system mimic natural wound responses and alter biomaterial functions [PDF]
Biomaterials hold promise for diverse therapeutic applications in the central nervous system (CNS). Little is known about molecular factors that determine CNS foreign body responses (FBRs) in vivo , or about how such responses influence biomaterial ...

Relaxivity of Gadobutrol and Gadoteric Acid in Cerebrospinal Fluid at 3T
ABSTRACT Purpose The aim was to estimate T1 relaxivity of gadobutrol and gadoteric acid in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) at 3T, to support research on CSF‐flow and the glymphatic system in humans utilizing T1 mapping after intrathecal injection. Methods Using a phantom, relaxivity was estimated for gadobutrol and gadoteric acid in lumbar CSF and an ...

ABSTRACT Purpose To apply the Magnetization Transfer Indirect Spin Labeling (MISL) MRI technique for quantifying tissue‐CSF water exchange in the human brain, and to investigate its utility in (1) evaluating tissue‐CSF water exchange within perivascular spaces (PVS), and (2) characterizing altered water exchange dynamics in pathologic conditions ...
