Saul Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 Some new research by the group of scientists at the University of Rochester who discovered the glymphatic system; the system cleans debris from our brains when we are deeply sleeping (non-REM slow wave sleep): Immediately after a stroke, the known swelling of the brain that occurs -- and greatly enhances the likelihood of immediate death -- is caused by cerebral spinal fluid (not plasma, as previously thought) coursing into the brain. The details are in the brief article below, including a video. -- Saul https://newatlas.com/medical/waste-removal-system-drown-brain-stroke/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Put Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Interesting, thanks!"One study from the same group of University of Rochester researchers found that low-level alcohol consumption actually enhanced the performance of the glymphatic system, while another found that sleeping on your side rather than your back or stomach can produce similar effects." I have been reducing my alcohol consumption, but maybe I shouldn't.... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
