Brain fluid flow may be a key in fighting Alzheimer s
MIAMI – A recent study at Virginia Tech finds that fluid flow in the brain may be a key in fighting Alzheimer’s disease.
Dr. Rosie Curiel Cid with the University of Miami Center for Cognitive Neuroscience and Aging said researchers believe brain fluid movements decrease with age.
This raises the possibility of speeding up that flow to flush out the accumulation of a protein linked to Alzheimer’s.
“It is very complicated and so the researchers at Virginia Tech what they’re actually doing is they have different kinds of tissue models that they’re doing this in vitro and they also have mouse models where they’re essentially helping to bind molecules that can help with the flow acceleration,” she said.
