The Glymphatic system in the brain was hailed as the "Breakthrough of the Year" by Science Magazine.
Normal Glymphatic System
Glymphatic cleaning is not working
Research suggests that when the glymphatic system, the brain’s natural clearing system, slows down or stops, it can be linked to a wide range of neurological conditions. Scientific studies from around the world are exploring its potential connection to disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s disease, ALS, and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), etc..
24 Neurological Diseases and issues are linked to the Glymphatic System. We list the current list below, a link to some of the scientific reports (There are over 1,200 reports; we couldn’t list them all), our summaries, and, importantly, what Supports the glymphatic systemTM is described here.
The recently discovered glymphatic system is the brain’s built-in cleaning and drainage network . . . . . . .
Glymphatic cleaning is not working
It helps clear waste and unwanted toxins from the brain by moving cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) through tiny pathways that run alongside blood vessels. For thousands of years, no one knew this glymphatic system even existed.
What is the newly discovered Glymphatic system? (skip ahead to learn more before picking a Disease associated with the glymphatic system And say linked scientific reports beyond the summary)
Detailed list of educational information and links below:
Alzheimer’s disease is linked to the buildup of proteins like amyloid-beta when waste isn’t cleared properly from the brain.
Parkinson’s disease: The accumulation of proteins that affect movement and coordination is stuck in the brain.
Dementia (various types) General decline in memory and thinking tied to reduced brain “cleaning.” 70% of all dementia cases are actually Alzheimer’s disease
Microplastics –Certainly in the news and contaminated throughout the world, impossible to avoid. And while avoiding them now, exposure before becoming more cautious does not fix the underlying problem that those microplastics are stuck, possibly in the glymphatic system.

So, it was taken on by APDI, Inc. (Alzheimer’s Parkinson’s dementia impaired). APDI created a unique, trademarked method of isolating and naturally preserving components called ultra chill millingTM. This made the product MyBrainRestote.com as pure as possible while preserving all the components that support the glymphatic system.
As with many emerging discoveries, it can take time for new concepts to become widely understood and integrated into everyday clinical practice. In the meantime, we need to do everything we can to support the glymphatic system and prevent the problems it can protect against from worsening. As for me, writing this, I had Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, and I wanted to be able to fix my Glymphatic system as soon as possible and not wait 10 years for it to get worse.
Current treatments for neurological conditions like Parkinson’s and others are primarily designed to manage symptoms, not address underlying causes, or restore full function. And they come with a mountain of side effects. The oldest being drugs like Cordoba, which have been handed out by doctors since the 1960s. That’s what I was given, and that didn’t work, and I was told that even if it did, it wouldn’t work forever, eventually, and has what some doctors call, in the background, a honeymoon effect; it sort of loses benefits over time.
There has been significant focus on developing a product that supports the natural glymphatic system, and we have observed measurable changes through personal tracking, blood work, and ongoing research. As this field continues to evolve, we believe supporting the brain’s ability to maintain balance and clear waste may play the most important role in long-term neurological health.
The glymphatic system works mostly while you sleep, flushing out waste and toxins that build up in the brain during the day, like a nightly “rinse cycle.” Some scientists go as far as to call it “the dishwasher of the brain”. When the Glymphatic system doesn’t work efficiently, and for many people, it slows down over time, waste can begin to build up in the brain. This buildup may contribute to a range of neurological challenges, especially as we age or after stress, injury, or environmental exposure (chemicals such as weed killers, working on farms, working in industrial areas, brake cleaner fluid, and even air pollution, impossible to avoid). Keeping in mind that when exposed very young to chemicals like I was, being born at Camp Lejeune, where Parkinson’s is 70% higher than at any other base the government has tested, and came from the chemical TCE. Don’t stand alone in this, even Michael J fox, I believe, said that he believed he got his Parkinson’s on movie sets, where they would throw powders in your face, explode things, and he got it at age 29. I was even having it at the same age, but no one could tell me what it was; it was early-onset Parkinson’s. The dry-cleaning industry has a 500% higher rate of Parkinson’s.
The “newly” discovered glymphatic system has led many scientists to believe that understanding how the brain maintains itself under normal, healthy conditions is essential to developing better approaches for neurological diseases, especially those involving the buildup of abnormal or misfolded proteins, such as Tau, or trauma. The Glymphatic system is behind all of this.
Earlier theories suggested that the brain clears waste through the slow movement of fluids and dissolved substances between interstitial fluid and cerebrospinal fluid, primarily by diffusion. However, given the brain’s size and complexity, diffusion alone is unlikely to fully explain how this tightly controlled internal environment is maintained.
The glymphatic system is like the brain’s natural cleaning and drainage system. It’s new to the medical world and helps explain why, over time, the brain can accumulate waste, especially as we age or after exposure to stress, chemicals, or head injuries. The glymphatic system was discovered by Danish neuroscientist Dr. Maiken Nedergaard, Dr. Jeffrey Iliff, and her colleagues at the University of Rochester Medical Center.
It was hailed as the “Breakthrough of the Year” by Science Magazine in 2013, but there’s an extremely good chance your doctor has never read it because, let’s face it, they have 7 minutes with you and little time for research. What we talk about here is the cutting edge of science and groundbreaking medical research. Link for Dr. Maiken Nedergaard research:
https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/labs/nedergaard/projects/glymphatic-system
However, another study done at a Japanese Medical university was able to cure mice of Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and dementia. But they studied only 3 of the 24 different Glymphatic system diseases. However, their research led to the complete cure of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and dementia in mice. Mice’s and, in this case, humans’ glymphatic system is extremely similar. Now in my opinion and understanding the people at Rochester university and the Dutch scientist and the Japanese scientists were never in the same room and I realized they had discovered the same thing from different points of view, a decade apart, but nevertheless a powerful and completely different way to look at how neurological diseases get stuck in the brain and how to get them unstuck by supporting the glymphatic system to the exact same base ingredient the Japanese used and their experiments.
The study used natural, organic, non-GMO plant seed, which is a unique subspecies of Ziziphus. (Don’t worry I had never heard of that plant either) This was amazing, but they couldn’t turn it into a big pharma drug because they couldn’t isolate its components or determine how it worked.
The key question becomes: how do you support the brain’s ability to clear itself? The only product in the world right now that supports the glymphatic systemTM is, in fact, www.mybrainrestore.com . In my case, I take the 2X active formula every day, and it has been a game-changer.
Most people have at least heard of the lymphatic system. For example, when you get strep throat, the glands in your neck (lymph nodes) often swell up. That’s a sign your body is working to fight off infection. That is the lymphatic system at work, acting as a drainage and filtration system that helps remove waste and germs from the body.
The analogy here is the same as with the glymphatic system: it gets overloaded with substances such as man-made chemicals, microplastics, and inflammation from various diseases or even immunizations.
When the lymphatic system is overwhelmed, the lymph nodes can swell and work less efficiently. In cases such as bacterial infections and swollen lymph nodes, treatments like antibiotics can help the body clear the infection and restore the system to normal.
However, until now, there has been no support system for the Glymphatic system, and antibiotics don’t work at all to address the problems. But where there’s a problem, there’s an answer, right?
The lymphatic system was formally discovered in 1622 by Italian physician Gaspare Aselli, who identified it as “milky veins”.
In contrast, the Glymphatic system was discovered only about 400 years later, in 2012, by Danish neuroscientist Dr. Maiken Nedergaard, Dr. Jeffrey Iliff, and their colleagues at the University of Rochester Medical Center, making it relatively new to science and not studied at all until then; in fact, no one knew it existed.
The term “glymphatic” was coined by Maiken Nedergaard to recognize its dependence on glial cells in the brain and its functional similarity to the peripheral lymphatic system. So glial lymphatic became Glymphatic. My Brain RestoreTM is the only product that Supports the Glymphatic SystemTM, and that’s just one reason it’s registered with the US Patent and Trademark Office.
A unique Ziziphus plant seed (Don’t worry, I had never heard of it either before I studied to cure my own Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s) is ground using ultra-chilled milledTM technology, which clinical research has shown can support declines in 24 forms of brain dysfunction. This unique plant cultivator (over 100 exist, or over 700, other research says, and only one works)
What The Glymphatic system is supposed to do when not damaged or impaired
- Clears out waste (including harmful proteins linked to memory problems)
- Delivers nutrients like glucose and amino acids.
- Helps keep the brain balanced and functioning properly.
- Chronic pain may be caused by problems with support cells in the nervous system (called glial cells) not working properly. When these cells become unbalanced or “out of sync,” they can contribute to ongoing pain signals in both the brain and the rest of the body. Researchers are continuing to study this to better understand how it works and what can be done about it.
- Clears the cells so they can go back to making dopamine and be responsive to the body’s messaging systems for dopamine balance. Clears amyloid beta from the brain (Alzheimer’s) and moves it into the bloodstream, where it can be broken down by the liver. Proved by the amyloid beta ratio blood test. And I am the first person in the world, according to Google and my neurologist, who has ever changed the ratio in my favor by not just 1% but so far by 20%, and probably by the end of 2026, completely eliminating the bad ratio, which is the gold standard for determining if someone has Alzheimer’s.
Why It’s Important
If this system doesn’t work well, waste can get “stuck” in the brain.
Researchers believe this may play a role in:
- Memory decline
- Most Aging-related brain issues
- Effects from head injuries
- The combination of taking my brain restore in the afternoon or evening before going to bed works best when you’re asleep and using products that support the glymphatic system.
When you’re awake, it slows down, so if sleep is poor, waste can build up even faster. However, my brain restore can work even if the person has minimal sleep, but the longer the better
What Goes Wrong? And The Vicious Cycle
- Brain cells continue to get damaged.
- This triggers glial cells to become even more active
- The overactive glial cells cause more damage.
- “In Neurological issues, brain support cells can become overactive and inflamed, contributing to ongoing damage instead of protection.”
- They start releasing harmful substances.
- This damages the brain cells that make dopamine (important for movement)
- This damage goes across all the diseases listed above, including things like Alzheimer’s dementia, traumatic brain injuries, strokes, and essentially anything the brain would have to filter out to try to repair itself. Once it gets stuck, it stays stuck unless you intervene.
- The cycle keeps repeating unless you break the cycle.
- My Brain RestoreTM is the only natural nutraceutical/nootropic that supports the glymphatic systemTM. The website www.mybrainrestore.com has a great deal more information, including post-medical information (My Journey), a large FAQ center, neurological information, studies on mice with glymphatic systems similar to humans, and the 1st human to use the My Brain RestoreTM 2x Active product, and shows me a remarkable recovery. That blood work backs up, and so does my neurologist

Alzheimer’s Cognitive Issues Aging-Related Decline
Natural aging slows the system – a gradual buildup of brain waste over time
In short, Mark Burnett, the President of APDI, Inc ( Alzheimer’s Parkinson’s and dementia Impaired), makers of My Brain RestoreTM and MBR products, not only had Alzheimer’s, but I also had the APOE4 gene (other people can have multiple genes, making Alzheimer’s even more susceptible). However, even having one gene gave me Alzheimer’s at an advanced level. I was able to improve my beta amyloid blood testing, which is the gold standard for Alzheimer’s, by 20% after taking ultra chill mild Ziziphus (www.mybrainrestore.com ) for 14 months, making Mark Burnett (President of APDI, Inc. the first human to reverse Alzheimer’s in the world. All tests were performed by Quest Diagnostics, and the lab results are available to the public at my www.brainrestore.com under My Journey. I predict by the end of 2026, Alzheimer’s in me will be completely eliminated from an amyloid beta test capability, meaning essentially if I were to walk into another doctor and get that test done, the doctor would say you do not have Alzheimer’s because the tests came back in the green and you show no markers for it… Isn’t that what we all want? But it also shows that the Glymphatic system is functioning, meaning the 23 other diseases are going down the drain just as well, if not better. Because we proved the point that the my brain restore product supports the glymphatic system to get back to work.
The glymphatic system is a brain-wide waste-clearance pathway that removes extracellular tau protein; dysfunction leads to tau accumulation, propagation, and neurodegeneration. Active primarily during sleep, this system uses aquaporin-4 (AQP4) channels on astrocytes to move cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and interstitial fluid (ISF), flushing out tau. Impairment of this system, common in aging or after brain injury, accelerates Alzheimer’s disease pathology.
The onset and progression of AD are closely linked to the impairment of the glymphatic system. This theory not only deepens our understanding of AD pathogenesis but also highlights new therapeutic targets for its treatment (Silva et al., 2021). The representative neuropathological changes of AD include the formation of p-tau, Aβ plaques, and neurofibrillary tangles which leads to irreversible cognitive damage (Simon et al., 2022). The key issue in AD development is the imbalance between Aβ production and clearance (Zeppenfeld et al., 2017). AD patients have a slower rate of Aβ clearance, while Aβ production remains similar (Li et al., 2024). The disruption of the glymphatic system is linked with an abnormal size of PVS, and in turn, impairs Aβ clearance, leading to the development and progression of AD (Ang et al., 2024; Park et al., 2024).
The glymphatic system clears extracellular tau and protects from tau aggregation and neurodegeneration. And only one product supports the glymphatic system.

Parkinson’s disease: The accumulation of proteins that affect movement and coordination is stuck in the brain.
The glymphatic system plays a crucial role in clearing misfolded α-synuclein, a hallmark of Parkinson’s disease. Impaired glymphatic function is associated with the progression of PD, as it contributes to the accumulation of protein aggregates and is linked to nigrostriatal dopaminergic degeneration and motor prognosis. The glymphatic system is a unique CNS network that facilitates the dynamic exchange of interstitial fluid and cerebrospinal fluid, and its dysfunction can lead to significant neurological deficits.
Recent studies have demonstrated that glymphatic dysfunction leads to the accumulation of protein aggregates and is strongly associated with nigrostriatal dopaminergic degeneration and motor prognosis in PD patients. The advent of diffusion tensor imaging analysis of the perivascular space (DTI-ALPS) has made it possible to assess glymphatic function without contrast injection, as demonstrated by classical glymphatic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and validated in several neurodegenerative diseases.
The glymphatic system’s influence on α-synuclein propagation dynamics suggests that dysregulation of the AQP4 complex might contribute to glymphatic impairment associated with Parkinson’s disease. This highlights the importance of further mechanistic investigation of the glymphatic system in the context of PD.
I have personally gone from stage 3-4 Parkinson’s, one step from a walker, to stage 1 Parkinson’s as diagnosed by my neurologist using only a unique version of Ziziphus seed made by www.mybrainrestore.com. It took over a year to accomplish that. But I’m not done yet, and as one person put it, stage 1 may not be a cure, but when you feel more like you’re 30 and not 67 with Parkinson’s, the world changes for you at a level that is unheard of and usually only hoped for.

Dementia (various types)
Glymphatic failure as a final common pathway to dementia (Science, Vol. 370, No. 6512)
MRI scans from nearly 40,000 people revealed biomarkers, analysis reveals. It points to why so many people get dementia of many different types, including dementia with Lewy Bodies (LBD).
The brain’s built-in clearance system, called the glymphatic system, removes toxins from the brain through the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) via minuscule channels that trace blood vessels. Scientists have suspected that the glymphatic system may play a role in processes such as sleep and recovery from traumatic brain injury.
Now, researchers led by Hugh Markus, a neurologist at the University of Cambridge, used data from the massive UK Biobank resource and found a link between reduced glymphatic function and increased risk of dementia. Their findings, published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association, highlight why impaired cardiovascular function—which is closely tied with the glymphatic system—and poor sleep associate with dementia risk

TBI (Traumatic brain injury)
CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy)
Concussions (sports, military, accidents)
HAE (Head Acceleration Events)
Associated with football, soccer, tennis, pickleball, car accidents, military, car accidents, and falls.
Since the glymphatic system was named in 2012, over 200 articles have been published on the connection to TBI. The glymphatic system plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of traumatic brain injury (TBI). It is a brain-wide fluid transport pathway that facilitates the exchange of fluid and solutes between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and interstitial fluid (ISF), eventually draining into the meningeal and cervical lymphatic system. The glymphatic system is essential for clearing waste from the brain and delivering nutrients and active substances. However, dysfunction can impair glymphatic function, leading to the accumulation of metabolic waste in the brain. This can increase the risk of developing debilitating neurodegenerative diseases. – National Institutes of Health
Research has shown that TBI can disrupt the glymphatic system, leading to decreased flow and increased protein accumulation and deposition, such as amyloid β and tau. This dysfunction can result in neurodegeneration, cognitive decline, and behavioral changes.
In short, damage to the Glymphatic system by repeated hits to the head, even without a diagnosed concussion, can affect brain function over time and may increase the risk of serious neurological conditions. Even a significant blow to the head, if strong enough, can cause permanent damage to the glymphatic system. Following TBI, glymphatic function can drop by up to 60%, leaving the brain vulnerable to post-traumatic aggregation and neurodegeneration (National Institutes of Health)
Glymphatic system dysfunction associated with research over the years has shown that repeated impacts to the head—common in contact sports—can have both short-term and long-term effects on the brain, even when a concussion isn’t officially diagnosed. These repeated hits, sometimes called HAE (Head Acceleration Events). Studies have linked them to problems with memory, mood, behavior, and thinking ability.
In some cases, ongoing exposure to these impacts may also increase the risk of developing more serious neurological conditions later in life, including ALS, early-onset dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease.

Microplastics:
Associated with: Worldwide environmental issues, both breathing in and especially drinking water containing microplastics, which are worldwide and impossible to control.
The glymphatic system is a crucial pathway for the removal of metabolic waste from the central nervous system (CNS). Microplastics, particularly nanoplastics, can disrupt this system by acting as vectors for chemical contaminants and causing biological harm. The glymphatic system consists of paravascular spaces that allow cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to flow into the brain and exit via the cerebral venous paravascular spaces. Microplastics can enter the CNS through inhalation, ingestion, and skin absorption, potentially affecting the CNS’s ability to clear waste and toxins. The glymphatic system’s role in maintaining CNS health is underscored by the potential impact of microplastics on its function and the associated health risks.
The accumulation of polystyrene nanoplastics leads to increased levels of amyloid-β (Aβ) and phosphorylated Tau protein (P-Tau) in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus, which are metabolic waste products associated with neurobehavioral disorders and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease….. resulting in impaired polarization of aquaporin-4 (AQP4) at astrocytic endfeet, thereby disrupting glymphatic system function. This leads to reduced clearance of cerebral Aβ and P-Tau, ultimately contributing to neurotoxicity and learning-memory deficits (49).

Cognitive decline
The glymphatic system plays a crucial role in cognitive decline, particularly in the context of aging and neurodegenerative diseases. Research indicates that glymphatic function declines with age, leading to an accumulation of neurotoxic substances that may contribute to cognitive decline. This decline in glymphatic function is linked to the atrophy of core memory brain regions, such as the entorhinal cortex, during aging.
Studies have shown that the diffusion tensor imaging along the perivascular space (DTI-ALPS) index is a promising biomarker for glymphatic function and its decline. The DTI-ALPS index has been positively associated with cognitive function and serves as an independent protective factor for cognitive decline.
Glymphatic dysfunction has been identified as a significant factor in the development of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI). In MCI, glymphatic dysfunction is a biomarker for early neurodegeneration, while in PSCI, it correlates with cognitive impairment following ischemic stroke.
Understanding the glymphatic system’s role in cognitive decline is essential for developing potential therapeutic strategies to mitigate age-related memory decline and improve cognitive health

Balance and strength
One of the unique aspects people report when supporting the glymphatic system with My Brain Restore™ is that changes in balance and strength are often among the first things they notice, sometimes within the first 4 months of consistent use.
In addition, some individuals track progress through biomarkers such as amyloid beta ratios (Used to show Alzheimer’s, but also to indicate that the Glymphatic system is functioning again through changes in blood ratios from the brain) that are associated with brain health. While research in this area is still evolving, changes in these markers, along with improvements in focus and mental clarity, are areas of growing interest.
These observations suggest that supporting the brain’s natural clearing system may help maintain balance, coordination, and cognitive function over time.
The glymphatic system plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis within the central nervous system (CNS) by facilitating fluid exchange and waste clearance. It is responsible for nutrient delivery, waste removal, and maintaining the ionic microenvironment. Key functions include:
Fluid Flow: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and interstitial fluid (ISF) move through the glymphatic system, regulated by aquaporin-4 (AQP4).
Homeostasis Maintenance: The glymphatic system helps maintain the balance of nutrients and waste products in the brain.
Impairment and Disease: Dysfunction in the glymphatic system is linked to various brain diseases, highlighting its importance in overall CNS health.
Understanding the glymphatic system’s role in balance and strength is essential for addressing neurological disorders and promoting brain health.

Sleep-Related Disorders –
Chronic sleep deprivation
Sleep apnea
The glymphatic system plays a crucial role in the brain’s waste removal, and its dysfunction has been linked to sleep apnea. Studies have shown that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can disrupt the glymphatic system, potentially increasing the risk of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
The glymphatic system is more active during sleep and is responsible for removing waste products, including beta amyloids, from the brain. OSA can hinder this process, leading to an accumulation of waste products that may contribute to neurodegenerative diseases. The APLS method has been proposed as a tool to assess glymphatic function in OSA patients, suggesting that understanding and addressing its function may be key to managing OSA and reducing the risk of cognitive decline and AD.
Traditionally, the botanical ingredient used in www.MyBrainRestore.com has been prepared as a hot tea or cooked extract, often associated with relaxation and sleep support. However, heating or cooking Ziziphus in My Brain Restore destroys its ability to support the glymphatic system, which is why it went unnoticed for over 2,000 years. I would note at this point that the plant that makes dopamine was derived from a plant in India over 100 years ago, but it has been used since the 1960s. It only replaces dopamine without addressing the underlying problem, which is why the problem continues to worsen.
More recent research has been conducted by APDI, Inc., the makers of My Brain Restore, which used low-temperature processing methods to better preserve these delicate components. This approach has gained attention in scientific settings studying how natural compounds may support brain function.
Building on this concept, APDI, Inc. developed a proprietary Ultra Chill Milled™ process designed to preserve the full spectrum of the plant’s natural compounds. The goal is to support the brain’s natural processes—particularly the glymphatic system, which helps clear metabolic waste during sleep.
Many users choose to incorporate supportive habits alongside supplementation of My Brain Restore daily, such as:
– Improving sleep quality (since the glymphatic system is most active during deep sleep), even THC-CBD Sleep (3-CHI) Gummies to prolong sleep is very helpful. We have nothing to do with this company other than that the president uses their products and finds them effective, and that they work better for sleep than for euphoria.
-Using tools like **wedge pillows** to promote comfortable positioning and drainage of the glymphatic system. These are available on Amazon in various sizes and heights. Pick a smaller one first that you feel comfortable with, before going to one that has steeper angles
Some individuals also use separate sleep-support products (not affiliated with My Brain Restore™) as part of their personal routine. However, My Brain Restore has no interactions with other products because My Brain Restore focuses entirely on the glymphatic system, which no other product does. But you must mix the product with cold ingredients, such as pudding, yogurt, or ice cream; never use anything hot, or drink hot liquids or hot meals, one hour after taking the product, as this can significantly affect its effectiveness.
Over time, users have reported improvements in balance, coordination, and mental clarity with consistent use. These observations, along with ongoing personal tracking and interest in biomarkers such as amyloid-related measures, continue to support further exploration of how supporting the brain’s natural clearing system may contribute to overall brain health.
I have also witnessed, and this is well documented, that people with sleep apnea who are also overweight benefit greatly from things like Ozempic. It’s even been reported that Ozempic can stop, in most cases, sleep apnea once the weight is lost, and they also suffer from diabetes. It’s highly recommended that you also use a continuous monitor that would tell your phone your blood sugar level. These are available through products like FreeStyle Libre Plus, which requires a subscription. But if you’re on Medicare, it’s under Part B, and there are companies that specialize in getting you good prices on that and shipping it to you automatically.
The combination of all this essentially gives you the ability to beat, or at least greatly control, sleep apnea. The product My Brain Restore helps clear the brain and is completely compatible with GLP-1 Drugs like Ozempic, and this combination of the two is highly effective.

Stroke – recovery and complications
The glymphatic system is a brain-wide waste clearance pathway whose dysfunction contributes to stroke pathophysiology. National Institutes of Health (.gov) Impairment: Ischemic stroke causes rapid impairment of the glymphatic system, reducing the clearance of metabolic wastes. Glymphatic impairment is often studied in relation to small vessel disease, which can lead to lacunar stroke. Improving the clearance rate of this system could be a promising avenue for reducing long-term neurological damage.
Brain Edema: While the glymphatic system usually removes excess fluid, it becomes overwhelmed in stroke, contributing to severe cerebral edema (swelling) and blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption.
Neuroinflammation: Failure of the glymphatic system prevents the efficient clearance of inflammatory cytokines and cellular debris, expanding the area of injury and contributing to further neuronal injury and complications in recovery.
Electrical Dysfunction: Impaired drainage can lead to spreading depolarization, causing further neuron damage. American Heart Association Journals
Glymphatic System as a Therapeutic Target Monitoring Recovery: Techniques such as DTI-ALPS (Diffusion Tensor Imaging along the Perivascular Space) are used to measure glymphatic impairment, which serves as a biomarker for post-stroke recovery.
Disruption of the Blood-Brain Barrier: Stroke can disrupt the blood-brain barrier, which may hinder the glymphatic system’s ability to function effectively.

Multiple sclerosis (MS)
There is significant research interest in understanding the intricate relationship between CSF dynamics, glymphatic function and the pathogenesis of MS. Scholars have suggested that changes in the flow of CSF within brain tissue may be a factor in the development of MS (Fournier et al., 2018). Using high-resolution MRI scans of the spinal cord from mice injected with GBCA in the cisterna magna, Fournier et al. identified parenchymal CSF circulation within the spinal cord. In a model of MS known as experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, they observed a reduction in the spinal cord parenchymal CSF circulation (Fournier et al., 2018). A human study aligns with the previously mentioned animal study. Schubert et al. used dynamic 11C-PiB PET to identify changes in CSF clearance; it was observed that compared to the healthy group, CSF clearance in the lateral ventricle was substantially reduced amongst patients with MS. These findings suggest the presence of pathological alterations in CSF dynamics and glymphatic impairment (Schubert et al., 2019)
A distinguishing pathological feature of MS is the presence of inflammatory lesions in the perivenous spaces, which lead to the formation of demyelinating plaques (Ding et al., 2023; Karussis, 2014). It is important to note that these perivenous spaces serve as an efflux pathway via which the glymphatic system removes waste products. Fig. 3 illustrates the proposed pathological changes in the glymphatic system in MS compared to a healthy glymphatic system.
In a healthy brain, there is a typical glymphatic influx (periarterial) and efflux (perivenous) with high expression of AQP4 at astrocytic endfeet. This facilitates the normal bulk flow of interstitial fluid and maintains the integrity of the myelin sheath. Conversely, in the context of multiple sclerosis, proposed changes include diminished glymphatic influx and efflux, depolarisation of AQP4 away from astrocytic endfeet, reduced bulk flow of interstitial fluid and destruction of the myelin sheath. The existence of inflammatory lesions in the perivenous space may impede the glymphatic efflux pathway.
Relevant data were collected and compiled from the selected articles in order to provide an insightful and comprehensive review of the current state of knowledge regarding the relationship between MS and the glymphatic system.

Migraine disorders
Glymphatic system Migraine disorders
The glymphatic system plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of migraine disorders. Impaired glymphatic flow can lead to the accumulation of inflammatory mediators, metabolic waste products, and vasoactive peptides within perivascular and interstitial spaces, which may contribute to the progression from episodic to chronic migraine. The glymphatic system is activated during sleep, and its dysfunction has been implicated in various neurological disorders, including migraine. Advances in neuroimaging and understanding of the glymphatic system’s role in migraine may lead to new therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring glymphatic and perivascular homeostasis.

Huntington’s disease
The glymphatic system in Huntington’s disease (HD) is a critical component of the brain’s waste clearance network. It plays a vital role in maintaining neuronal health and brain homeostasis by facilitating the exchange of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and interstitial fluid (ISF) in the brain parenchyma. This system is essential for the removal of soluble proteins and metabolites while distributing essential nutrients and signaling molecules. The glymphatic system’s functionality is closely tied to aquaporin 4 (AQP4) water channels, primarily located on astrocytic endfeet, which mediate water movement between CSF and ISF.
Emerging evidence suggests that glymphatic dysfunction may be linked to HD pathogenesis, potentially offering an alternative extracellular pathway for the clearance of mutant huntingtin protein (mHTT). The glymphatic system’s role in HD pathogenesis could provide novel insights into disease pathogenesis and new therapeutic approaches. Research is ongoing to explore pharmacological interventions and lifestyle modifications aimed at optimizing glymphatic function to improve HD management.

ALS
The glymphatic system plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of ALS by facilitating the clearance of toxic proteins and waste products from the brain. Dysfunction of this system has been linked to various neurodegenerative diseases, including ALS. The glymphatic system is primarily active during non-REM slow-wave sleep, and its dysfunction may contribute to the progression of ALS. Studies have shown that patients with early-stage ALS exhibit impaired glymphatic function, which is associated with clinical disabilities and sleep disturbances. The glymphatic system’s role in ALS is further explored through imaging techniques like diffusion tensor imaging, which can assess its function and provide insights into the disease’s progression.
Glymphatic system dysfunction is an emerging factor in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) pathogenesis, characterized by the impaired clearance of toxic proteins like TDP-43 and glutamate from the brain. Studies using DTI-ALPS imaging have shown reduced glymphatic function in ALS patients compared to controls. This system, which relies on deep sleep and healthy vessel function to wash away waste, may fail, contributing to neurodegeneration

Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH)
The glymphatic system plays a crucial role in Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) by facilitating the clearance of waste products from the brain interstitial space. Dysfunction in this system is associated with impaired cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) clearance, leading to the accumulation of neurotoxic substances that contribute to NPH symptoms. Recent studies have shown that the glymphatic system’s function can be assessed using MRI techniques, revealing significant impairment in NPH patients compared to healthy controls. This dysfunction may be linked to the progression of neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation, suggesting that targeting glymphatic function could be a potential therapeutic strategy for NPH.
