A Novel Method to Study CSF Flow and BOLD Coupling Using Real-Time Phase Contrast Interleaved with Cortical BOLD MRI

New Method for Studying the Coupling Between Cerebrospinal Fluid Flow and Cortical BOLD Signals Academic Background In recent years, the role of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in brain waste clearance has garnered significant attention. Traditionally, CSF was thought to primarily serve as a cushion and provide immune surveillance. However, growing evide...

Choroid Plexus Aging: Structural and Vascular Insights from the HCP-Aging Dataset

Research on Choroid Plexus Aging and Cerebrospinal Fluid Dynamics Background Introduction The choroid plexus (CHP) is a highly vascularized structure located within the brain ventricles, primarily responsible for the production of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and the clearance of metabolic waste. It plays a crucial role in maintaining neurofluid homeo...

Association between Choroid Plexus Volume and Cognitive Function in Community-Dwelling Older Adults without Dementia: A Population-Based Cross-Sectional Analysis

Association Between Choroid Plexus Volume and Cognitive Function in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Research Study Academic Background With the increasing global aging population, the number of dementia patients is rising annually. Early identification of older adults with declining cognitive function and guiding them toward preventive and thera...

Non-invasive MRI of blood-cerebrospinal fluid-barrier function in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease: a potential biomarker of early pathology

Non-invasive MRI Study of Blood-Cerebrospinal Fluid Barrier Function in a Mouse Model of Alzheimer’s Disease Academic Background Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Recent studies have increasingly shown that the Blood-Cerebrospinal ...

Phase-Contrast MRI Analysis of Cerebral Blood and CSF Flow Dynamic Interactions

Study on the Interaction Between Cerebral Blood Flow and Cerebrospinal Fluid Dynamics Measured at Intracranial and Extracranial Planes Background The interaction between cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a critical factor in maintaining intracranial pressure (ICP) stability. According to the Monro-Kellie doctrine, the intra...
