Biology

Glymphatic System Clearance Pathways in Neurodegenerative Diseases

Quick fact

The glymphatic system was only discovered in 2012, yet it may explain why sleep is essential for brain health—during deep sleep, this clearance pathway becomes up to 60% more active.

Why this is interesting

Your brain runs a nightly dishwashing cycle that clears out toxic waste—but when this system breaks down, the buildup may be the trigger for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. What if the cause of these diseases isn't just too much toxic protein, but a plumbing problem that stops your brain from flushing it out?
