What if sleep could help prevent Alzheimer's disease? A new landmark study by researchers at Applied Cognition, a clinical-stage therapeutic company, points to the brain's glymphatic system, its fluid ...

Brain-meningeal immunity is increasingly recognized as a central player in the complex network of interactions within the central nervous system (CNS).

Abnormal clumps of proteins like α-synuclein, amyloid beta and tau are associated with neurodegenerative conditions like ...

Breakthrough enables continuous, non-invasive monitoring of the brain’s waste clearance system, unlocking new drug targets for Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases Applied Cognition, a ...

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.

Problems with the brain’s waste clearance system could underlie many cases of dementia and help explain why poor sleep patterns and cardiovascular risk factors such as high blood pressure increase the ...

You can see it coming in right there, that little spot,” says neuroscientist and engineer Laura Lewis. A remarkably bright pulsing dot has appeared on the monitor in front of us. We are watching, in ...

A hormone produced by the brain, orexin, may play a central role in the functioning of the brain’s glymphatic system, which clears waste, according to a new study from the University of Oulu.
