Disruption of Sleep-Dependent Brain Waste Clearance

The disruption of a sleep-dependent brain rhythm that helps clear waste from the brain is linked to a higher risk of dementia, and is associated with chronic stress, depression, cardiovascular disease, fragmented sleep, and aging. This biological problem poses a significant challenge to understanding and addressing dementia. Effective solutions are needed to mitigate this disruption and prevent dementia. The challenge involves understanding the mechanisms of brain waste clearance and finding ways to restore normal function.
