Bagged in three layers of meninges and selectively fenced off by the blood brain barrier, our central nervous system (CNS) interacts within strict limits with our immune system. Protective ...

SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind the Covid-19 pandemic, remains in the skull and meninges for years after infection, leading to a long-lasting effect on the brain, according to a major German study.

Researchers who previously discovered channels in the skull have found that cerebrospinal fluid can exit the brain through these channels to reach the skull's bone marrow, which can detect and respond ...

Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital say they’ve discovered previously unknown microscopic channels connecting the bone marrow in the skull and the meninges, the lining of the brain — and the ...

In a variation on the theme of the brain as immune-privileged, the central nervous system may have access to tailor-made immune cells. This is according to two new studies, one led by Jonathan Kipnis ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers used preclinical mouse models and human post-mortem samples to study the presence and distribution pattern of the severe acute ...

Researchers from Helmholtz Munich and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) have identified a mechanism that may explain the neurological symptoms of Long COVID. The study shows that the SARS-CoV-2 ...

The dietary supplement CDP-choline, sold as a brain-boosting agent and under study for stroke and traumatic brain injury, may block skull and brain damage that can result from alcohol consumption ...
