Choroid plexus er et organ som produserer mesteparten av cerebrospinalvæsken (CSV) i kroppen. Denne væsken omslutter hjernen og demper mekaniske slag samtidig som den bidrar til naturlig sirkulering av næring og avfallstoffer. ...

Motile cilia defects impair cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow and can cause brain and spine disorders. The development of ciliated cells, their impact on CSF flow, and their function in brain and axial morphogenesis are not ...

The developing brain undergoes drastic alterations. Here, we investigated developmental changes in the habenula, a brain region that mediates behavioral flexibility during learning, social interactions, and aversive ...

Brain activity and connectivity alter drastically during epileptic seizures. The brain networks shift from a balanced resting state to a hyperactive and hypersynchronous state. It is, however, less clear which mechanisms ...

Motile cilia are hair-like structures that move and propel fluid, playing important roles in the physiology of organs. Here, we present a protocol to visualize and measure ciliary beating and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow ...

Motile cilia are actively beating hair-like structures that cover the surface of multiple epithelia. The flow that ciliary beating generates is utilized for diverse functions and depends on the spatial location and biophysical ...

Animal models contribute greatly to our understanding of brain development and function as well as its dysfunction in neurological diseases. Epilepsy research is a very good example of how animal models can provide us with ...

Motile cilia are miniature, whip-like organelles whose beating generates a directional fluid flow. The flow generated by ciliated epithelia is a subject of great interest, as defective ciliary motility results in severe ...
