New article published in Science by Laura Lewis reveals the first-ever images of cerebrospinal fluid washing in and out of the brain during sleep
New research from Boston University suggests that tonight while you sleep, something amazing will happen within your brain. Your neurons will go quiet. A few seconds later, blood will flow out of your head. Then, a watery liquid called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) will flow in, washing through your brain in rhythmic, pulsing waves.
Working memory revived in older adults by synchronizing rhythmic brain circuits
Professor Robert M.G. Reinhart (CSN) and doctoral student John A. Nguyen published a new study in Nature Neuroscience that demonstrates cognitive improvement in aging adults by applying non-invasive brain stimulation.
BU-led research team wins competitive $7.5 million MURI grant to create neuro-autonomous robots
A Boston University-led research team was selected to receive a $7.5 million Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) grant from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). With this prestigious grant, the researchers will develop a novel category of neuro-inspired autonomous robots for land, sea, and air that the investigators have termed “neuro-autonomous.”
