The global population is facing an unprecedented growth in the number of aging people with cognitive disorders such as Alzheimer disease (AD). AD is characterized by the deposition of amyloid β (Aβ) ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that leads to progressive memory loss and a decline in mental functions. Several past studies have linked this disease to the accumulation of ...

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 ...

Because prior research has shown that the glymphatic system is a key conduit for brain waste clearance and may be regulated by brain rhythms, Tsai and Murdock's team hypothesized that it might help ...

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 ...

When we think of brains, we tend to think of neurons. It's right there in our word for the study of the brain: neuroscience. But when it comes to certain mysteries of the brain—for example, the role ...

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 ...

Researchers studying a rare genetic condition tied to high psychosis risk have found that the brain’s waste-clearing plumbing, known as the glymphatic system, may function abnormally in people who ...
