Journal ArticleDOI

The glymphatic pathway in neurological disorders

TL;DR: The observed reduction in CSF clearance was associated with increasing grey-matter concentrations of Aβ in the human brain, consistent with findings in mice showing that decreased glymphatic function leads to Aβ accumulation and the development of neurodegenerative diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Flow of cerebrospinal fluid is driven by arterial pulsations and is reduced in hypertension.

TL;DR: CSF flow speeds match the instantaneous speeds of the pulsing artery walls that form the inner boundaries of the PVSs, suggesting arterial wall motion is the principal driving mechanism, via a process known as perivascular pumping.
Journal ArticleDOI

Suppression of glymphatic fluid transport in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: It is shown that CSF-derived Aβ40 co-localizes with existing endogenous vascular and parenchymal amyloid-β plaques, and thus, may contribute to the progression of both cerebral amyloids angiopathy andparenchylal Aβ accumulation.
