A new study by investigators from Mass General Brigham suggests that heavy alcohol use may lead to more severe brain bleeds ...

The researchers defined heavy alcohol use as regular alcohol consumption of three or more drinks per day. One drink was ...

Intervening in the pathways that disrupt the brain’s waste clearance system could help prevent or slow Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.

A study found that poor sleep can negatively impact how well the brain flushes out toxins, increasing the risk of dementia.

In a study led by researchers at the University of Cambridge, impaired movement of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) – a clear liquid ...

Researchers have discovered that problems with the brain’s waste-clearing system—the glymphatic system—may significantly raise the risk of developing dementia.

People with gum disease may have higher levels of brain white matter damage, a new study finds. Researchers observed that participants with gum disease had significantly more white matter ...

Disturbed sleep was associated with greater small vessel disease (SVD) burden and worse cognitive performance in patients with transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or mild stroke. This cross-sectional ...

When these tiny blood vessel pulses become excessive, they may interfere with the brain’s “glymphatic system,” a recently identified network that clears away waste such as beta-amyloid, the protein ...

A new study reveals that fragmented sleep causes cellular damage to the brain's blood vessels, providing further evidence to suggest that sleep disruption predisposes the brain to dementia. "We found ...

Older adults with gum disease are more likely to display signs of white matter damage in the brain, which is correlated with memory decline, balance issues, and higher stroke risk. That is according ...
