New research from MIT reveals that after poor sleep, the brain releases cerebrospinal fluid in waves during attention lapses, mimicking sleep's cleansing process but impairing alertness, suggesting a link between sleep, brain cleaning, and attention regulation.
A study from Washington University reveals that during sleep, brainwaves facilitate the movement of cerebrospinal fluid through the brain, effectively flushing out waste and potentially preventing neurological diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Understanding and enhancing this cleansing process could lead to improved sleep quality and overall brain health, offering new avenues for treating sleep disorders and combating neurodegenerative diseases.
