Poor sleep can hinder the brain's ability to clear toxins, potentially increasing dementia risk, according to a study by University of Cambridge researchers.

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 ...

Impaired movement of cerebrospinal fluid — the clear liquid that cushions and cleans the brain — predicted people’s risk of ...

A major international study has uncovered a new biological clue that could help predict dementia long before memory problems ...

A new trial suggests that a “green Mediterranean diet” — which cuts out animal proteins in favor of plants — can lower biomarkers tied to accelerated brain aging. Participants were told to cut back on ...

Intervening in the pathways that disrupt the brain’s waste clearance system could help prevent or slow Alzheimer’s disease ...

A new study has found that people with an impaired glymphatic system, which helps the brain remove toxins and is mostly ...

Researchers have discovered that problems with the brain’s waste-clearing system—the glymphatic system—may significantly ...

UK scientists found that 'disruption' to the glymphatic system impairs its cleaning ability, increasing the likelihood of ...

MRI scans from nearly 40,000 people revealed biomarkers linked to defective toxin clearance in the brain predicted the susceptibility to dementia later in life.

Problems with the brain's waste clearance system could underlie many cases of dementia and help explain why poor sleep ...
