How the brain cleans itself during deep sleep

During deep sleep, blood vessels in the brain contract and relax to help clear waste, aided by noradrenaline.

Aerobic exercise: A powerful ally in fight against Alzheimer's

Regular aerobic exercise may significantly reduce Alzheimer's disease markers and enhance brain health, providing new prevention strategies against cognitive decline.

Sleeping pills stop the brain's system for cleaning out waste

The brain cleans itself through glymphatic clearance, primarily during NREM sleep, driven by norepinephrine and inhibited by anesthesia and sleep medications.
