How the brain gets rid of its chemical waste through the glymphatics during sleep, via blood vessel oscillations, regulated by norepinephrine. Impeded by Ambien! www.cell.com/cell/abstrac... www.science.org/content/arti...

🐭🧠 #PrecapillarySphincters (PS) at the #arteriole–#capillary junction rapidly dilate ~30% in seconds during #SensoryStimulation—regulating #capillary #BloodFlow dynamically. Here we investigated whether they protect downstream microvessels during abrupt #BloodPressure surges 🧪🧵

Choroid plexus free‐water correlates with glymphatic function in Alzheimer's disease

INTRODUCTION Free-water imaging of the choroid plexus (CP) may improve the evaluation of Alzheimer's disease (AD). METHODS Our study investigated the role of free-water fraction (FWf) of CP in AD ...
