The Glymphatic System: The Brain's Waste Removal Process

Recent research has confirmed the existence of a waste clearance system in living human brains, known as the glymphatic system. This system utilizes cerebrospinal fluid to flow through fluid-filled channels surrounding blood vessels, effectively cleaning the brain. It is particularly active during sleep, which explains the importance of adequate rest for cognitive health. The discovery could have significant implications for treating neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's by exploring ways to enhance this natural cleaning mechanism.
