The authors argue that synchronized neuronal activity plays a crucial role in driving waste fluid flow in the brain through the glymphatic system.
Samenvatting
The brain's intricate network of neurons generates movement, thought, and behavior through electrical activity. This activity also produces waste that is cleared by the glymphatic system, a unique waste-clearance network in the brain. Jiang-Xie et al. and Murdock et al. present evidence showing how neuronal activation can enhance waste clearance from the brain.
Statistieken
The brain's fluid is filled with waste due to neuronal activity.
The glymphatic system accelerates waste clearance from the brain.
