ME/CFS brain fog is measurable on an MRI - new research links impaired glymphatic waste clearance to sleep disruption and ...

The brain's waste clearance system is impaired in people living with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed a technique to noninvasively visualize the brain's waste-removal system in unprecedented detail. This new imaging approach allows researchers to ...

A new study led by investigators from Mass General Brigham shows that a brain waste- "clean-up" system is influenced by intracranial pressure. The system, called the glymphatic system, was ...

Once thought not to exist, the lymphatic system of our central nervous system is referred to as the glymphatic system and is made up of water channels, pores, and other clearance pathways. It is ...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects over 69 million people yearly, and post‑TBI cognitive impairment (CTTI) often persists for years. The brain‑lymphatic axis – the central glymphatic system and ...

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.

A new study suggests that strengthening the body’s natural circadian rhythms may help the brain recover after stroke, even when treatment begins days after the injury.
