The findings support the existence of a glymphatic system, which scientists first identified in the brains of mice in 2012.

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

This oscillation, in turn, generates the pumping action necessary to move CSF in the glymphatic system during sleep. "These findings, combined with what we know about the glymphatic system ...

Termed the "glymphatic system," it acts like a series of pipes surrounding the blood vessels in the brain through which cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) moves. As the CSF flows through these channels it ...

Fluorescent tracers were introduced into the brain to track the flow of CSF as it moved through the glymphatic system. The team also used a technique called optogenetics to control the release of ...

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 ...

along with cerebral blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), combine during non-rapid eye movement (non-REM) sleep, essentially power the brain’s waste-removing glymphatic system. “Instead ...
