Researchers have discovered that increased blood flow leads to stiffness in the hippocampus, a region of the brain that plays important roles in learning and memory. The hippocampus is one of the ...

A wearable ultrasound patch could soon be saving lives, by monitoring the blood flow in hospital patients' brains. The device is only about the size of a postage stamp plus it works continuously, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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" ...

Scientists have discovered that a part of the brain may be behind high blood pressure. The lateral parafacial region sits in the brainstem – the oldest part of the brain – which controls automatic ...
