Glymphatic system
Topic
The glymphatic system is a macroscopic waste clearance system that utilizes perivascular channels formed by astroglial cells to remove metabolic waste from the vertebrate central nervous system. It functions primarily during sleep, facilitating the efficient elimination of soluble proteins and metabolites, such as amyloid-beta, while also helping to distribute non-waste compounds like glucose and lipids.
