A possible new treatment for impaired brain blood flow and related dementias is on the horizon. Research by scientists at the ...

Replacing a missing brain lipid may calm overactive blood vessels and restore healthy blood flow—opening a new path toward treating dementia.

A new study suggests that dementia may be driven in part by faulty blood flow in the brain. Researchers found that losing a ...

Brain aneurysms, often silent threats, can rupture unexpectedly, causing life-threatening hemorrhages. Weakened blood vessels ...

Winter's chill triggers dangerous physiological changes, increasing stroke risk. Cold constricts blood vessels, raising blood ...

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 ...

Though it accounts for just two percent of the body’s weight, the brain consumes a whopping 20% of its total energy. To get the energy it needs for more complicated tasks, the brain has evolved a ...

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 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, ...

Sildenafil- known most commonly as ‘viagra’- improves brain blood flow and blood vessel function in patients at risk of vascular dementia. The findings may pave the way for treatment and prevention ...

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 ...

AMES, Iowa – People with less consistent brain blood flow patterns may be at greater risk of dementia and cerebrovascular disease. To explore whether regular aerobic exercise can help, researchers at ...
