Increased volume of the choroid plexus, which produces and secretes cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), was tied to cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease, a retrospective study showed. Among 532 adults ...

Once viewed merely as a producer of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) bathing the brain and spinal cord, the choroid plexus is now known to be a key player in brain development and immunity. These fronds ...

A major international study has uncovered a new biological clue that could help predict dementia long before memory problems arise. Researchers from the University of Cambridge and Zhejiang University ...

The human brain, like the brain of other mammals, is known to start developing before birth, via a coordinated sequence of molecular and cellular processes. Neuroscience studies have found that the ...

A grape-like structure in the brain called the choroid plexus becomes enlarged and shows increased accumulation of abnormal inflammatory molecular signaling in people with Alzheimer's disease, ...

New work offers an unprecedented real-time view of the choroid plexus in a mouse model, providing a glimpse of how disturbances of the mother's immune system during pregnancy disrupt the developing ...

A Vlaams Institute of Biotechnology–Ghent University Center for Inflammation Research team has identified a previously unknown cellular barrier within the choroid plexus which clarifies how the ...

The choroid plexus (ChP), located within the ventricles of the brain, produce the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It plays a central role in regulating inflammatory cells in the central nervous system (CNS ...

The cerebrospinal fluid from young mice is awash with factors that keep the brain sharp. Now, scientists led by Tony Wyss-Coray at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, report that when ...

Up to three quarters of patients receiving cancer chemotherapy suffer from "chemo brain" - a long-term side effect that makes it harder to remember things, maintain attention, and learn new ...
