Unknown Cleaning System in Brain: Newer Imaging Technique Brings
'Glymphatic System' to Light
ScienceDaily (Aug. 15,
2012) — A previously unrecognized system that drains waste from
the brain at a rapid clip has been discovered by neuroscientists
at the University of Rochester Medical Center. The findings were
published online August 15 in Science Translational Medicine…
"If the glymphatic system fails to cleanse the brain as it is
meant to, either as a consequence of normal aging, or in
response to brain injury, waste may begin to accumulate in the
brain. This may be what is happening with amyloid deposits in
Alzheimer's disease," said Iliff. "Perhaps increasing the
activity of the glymphatic system might help prevent amyloid
deposition from building up or could offer a new way to clean
out buildups of the material in established Alzheimer's
disease," he added…
