The vascular blood–brain barrier is a highly regulated interface between the blood and
brain. Its primary function is to protect central neurons while signaling the presence of …

The brain harbors a unique ability to, figuratively speaking, shift its gears. During
wakefulness, the brain is geared fully toward processing information and behaving, while …

Aquaporin channels facilitate bidirectional water flow in all cells and tissues. AQP4 is highly
expressed in astrocytes. In the CNS, it is enriched in astrocyte endfeet, at synapses, and at …

Background Slowed clearance of amyloid β (Aβ) is believed to underlie the development of
Aβ plaques that characterize Alzheimer's disease (AD). Aβ is cleared in part by the …

The glymphatic movement of fluid through the brain removes metabolic waste,,–.
Noninvasive 40 Hz stimulation promotes 40 Hz neural activity in multiple brain regions and …

The glymphatic system is a fluid transport network of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) entering the
brain along arterial perivascular spaces, exchanging with interstitial fluid (ISF), ultimately …

Ischaemic stroke involves the rapid onset of focal neurological dysfunction, most commonly
due to an arterial blockage in a specific region of the brain. Stroke is a leading cause of …

Transient or permanent loss of tissue perfusion due to ischaemic stroke can lead to damage
to the neurovasculature, and disrupt brain homeostasis, causing long-term motor and …

Aquaporins facilitate the passive transport of water, solutes, or ions across biological
membranes. They are implicated in diverse pathologies including brain edema following …

Stroke is the second leading cause of death and the third leading cause of disability
globally. Edema is a hallmark of stroke resulting from dysregulation of water homeostasis in …
