As you lay your head down to sleep tonight and dream all things weird and wonderful, scientists think your brain is going ...

在过去的几十年里，研究人员逐渐揭示了睡眠不仅是恢复体能的重要方式，更是维持大脑健康的关键过程。在睡眠期间，大脑的“类淋巴系统”（Glymphatic System）通过脑脊液（CSF）的流动清除代谢废物，如β-淀粉样蛋白和Tau蛋白，这些物质的积累被认为与阿尔茨海默病等神经退行性疾病密切相关。然而，究竟是什么机制驱动了睡眠状态下的脑脊液流动，一直是未解之谜。1月8日Cell的研究报道“Norepi ...

A study on zolpidem, a popular sleep aid, suggests it may interfere with the brain's glymphatic system, potentially impacting brain health.

A new study in mice suggests that sleeping pills may impede the brain's ability to "cleanse" itself during sleep.

Earlier studies done mostly on mice discovered that the brain had a system that flushed its tissues with cerebrospinal fluid, which carried away waste products in a process called glymphatic clearance ...

Now, a Danish study led by postdoc researcher Natalie Hauglund from the University of Copenhagen and the University of Oxford ...

Deep sleep washes away waste that builds up in the brain while it’s awake and now, thanks to a new study in mice, we know how ...

Scientists have discovered that rhythmic oscillations of a specific neurotransmitter play a vital role in clearing toxic ...

While we’re asleep at night, our brain is busy doing maintenance. The glymphatic system–the brain’s waste disposal mechanism–flushes away excess cerebrospinal fluid containing harmful ...

The brain’s waste-removal process is “like turning on the dishwasher,” a neurologist says, but common sleep medications may harm it Margherita Bassi Daily Correspondent The glymphatic system ...

These oscillations power the glymphatic system, a brain-wide network that is responsible for removing protein waste, including amyloid and tau that are associated with neurodegenerative diseases.
