It has been shown that noninvasive optogenetic-driven 40 Hz stimulation promotes neural activity and attenuates pathology in the 5XFAD mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease. Findings from a new study ...

In this Spotlight, we introduce the glymphatic system: the brain’s dedicated waste clearance system. Now implicated in various conditions, it is high time that we became acquainted. Share on Pinterest ...

The glymphatic system is the brain's self-cleaning mechanism. If you haven't heard of the glymphatic system, it's probably because it wasn't discovered until 2012. Since then, there's been a surge of ...

Once thought not to exist, the lymphatic system of our central nervous system is referred to as the glymphatic system and is made up of water channels, pores, and other clearance pathways. It is ...

A new study led by researchers from the University of Barcelona shows that wasteosomes —structures that act as containers for brain waste products— indicate a malfunction of the glymphatic system, a ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed a technique to noninvasively visualize the brain's waste-removal system in unprecedented detail. This new imaging approach allows researchers to ...

As we enjoy ourselves through the festive season, many will already be planning a detox in the new year: cutting back on screentime, perhaps, or abstaining from alcohol. Recently, I wondered whether ...
