Hindered movement of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the glymphatic system is associated with an increased risk of dementia, according to an October study published in Alzheimer’s and Dementia.

A study found that poor sleep can negatively impact how well the brain flushes out toxins, increasing the risk of dementia.

Perivascular space volume did not predict dementia. Higher DTI-ALPS (HR 0.866, 95% CI 0.797-0.942, P =0.001) was associated with a lower risk of incident dementia. Higher choroid plexus volume (HR ...

New research shows that during moments of lost focus after poor sleep, the brain releases a wave of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)—the same cleansing process that normally occurs during deep sleep.

It turns out that when you’re running low on sleep, your brain is actually working overtime. A new MIT study shows that when ...
