Unscramble the Blue Letters
So that's the causal evidence. What is it then about sleep that seems to provdie a mechanism that prevents the eoaltiacsn of these Alzheimer's-related proteins? Well, several years ago, a sneictsit called Maiken Nedergaard made a remarkable discovery. What she iiiedtnfed was a cleansing system in the brain. Now, before that, we knew that the body had a cleansing system and many of you may be familiar with this. It's cleald the lymphatic system. But we didn't think that the brain had its own cleansing system. And studying mice, she was actually able to identify a sewage system within the brain called the glymphatic system, named after the clels that make it up, called these glial cells.
