Researchers uncover how blood vessel rhythms drive brain to cleans itself during sleep and reveal potential disruptions.

Their observations revealed that norepinephrine levels in the brain fluctuate about every 50 seconds during non-REM sleep.

The brain's waste-removal process is "like turning on the dishwasher," a neurologist says, but common sleep medications may ...

Deep sleep helps clear brain waste through norepinephrine waves. Sleep aids may disrupt this vital cleaning process.

Zolpidem suppressed norepinephrine oscillations in mouse brains, disrupting the glymphatic system and impeding the brain’s waste-clearing processes.

A good night's sleep does more than just help you feel rested--it might literally clear your mind. A new study shows how deep sleep may wash away waste buildup in the brain during waking hours, an ...

New research suggests that a good night’s sleep does more than just recharge your body—it literally clears your mind.

Deep sleep may clear the brain of toxic waste via a process driven by norepinephrine, a molecule that creates rhythmic blood vessel contractions.

The norepinephrine molecule helps clear the brain of waste like dirty dishes in a dishwasher, and scientists think their ...
