When you zone out after pulling an all-nighter, the brain flushes out cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which surrounds the brain and spinal cord and is part of the brain's waste-disposal system. This CSF ...
From the complexity of neural networks to basic biological functions and structures, the human brain only reluctantly reveals its secrets. Advances in neuro-imaging and molecular biology have only ...
About a dozen seconds before CSF started to flow, their eyes would already have begun to narrow. “It seems like this isn’t just a phenomenon in the brain,” Lewis says. “It’s also a body-wide event.” ...

Why the brain feels "foggy" after a poor night's sleep has finally been explained. Attention lapses due to sleep deprivation coincide with a flushing of fluid from the brain - a process that normally ...
The findings of the study appeared in the journal Science. "In this study, we describe the interaction between the central and peripheral nervous system brought about by increased concentrations of ...
