A new study led by investigators from Mass General Brigham shows that a brain waste- "clean-up" system is influenced by intracranial pressure. The system, called the glymphatic system, was ...

Bright staining highlights VIP-expressing interneurons in this coronal cross-section of a mouse brain. The neurons may help drive glymphatic clearance of amyloid via the release of peptides. Studies ...

The brain’s built-in clearance system, called the glymphatic system, removes toxins from the brain through the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) via minuscule channels that trace blood vessels.

The ‘glymphatic system’ — the flow of cerebrospinal fluid during sleep to flush out toxins and waste materials from the brain — plays an essential role in keeping the brain healthy. A new study, using ...

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 ...
