Out today in @CellCellPress !
We show that oscillations in norepinephrine and cerebral blood volume are the missing pieces that link NREM sleep to clearance of waste from the brain 🧠💤 cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…

We can now see oxygen in the brain! It is already providing insight into why a sedentary lifestyle risk for diseases like #Alzheimers this #URochesterResearch method via @NedergaardLab made the discovery using a protein similar to what gives a firefly its glow.

How can understanding brain waste flow inform brain health?
Prof Douglas Kelley, PhD, of Mechanical Engineering @UofR Hajim, aims to understand the glymphatic system so conditions like #Alzheimer's and #Parkinson's can be studied more effectively. #URochesterResearch In a Neuro Minute🧠

Online now! Cervical lymphatics drain CSF and clear metabolic waste from the brain. Du et al., show using 2P-OPTIC that these are disrupted in aging due to reduced pumping. Restoring cervical lymphatic function with PGF2a rescues brain clearance. doi.org/10.1038/s43587-024-0…

Beautiful paper from @NedergaardLab in @NatureAging on the role of cervical lymphatics in cleansing of aged brain. Glymphatics/meningeal lymphatics = bff 🤩|| nature.com/articles/s43587-0…

#URochesterResearch via @NatureAging shows how
scientists restored the brain’s ability to clear toxic waste in older mice with a drug that's currently used to induce labor. This points to a potential new treatment for #Alzheimers and #Parkinsons.
Paper: go.nature.com/46WCR8F
👇Watch the aging lymphatic system – less contractions in the older mouse (right) causing the waste to stop and flow in different directions.
