Researchers have discovered that problems with the brain’s waste-clearing system—the glymphatic system—may significantly raise the risk of developing dementia.

The researchers defined heavy alcohol use as regular alcohol consumption of three or more drinks per day. One drink was ...

Intervening in the pathways that disrupt the brain’s waste clearance system could help prevent or slow Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.

When these tiny blood vessel pulses become excessive, they may interfere with the brain’s “glymphatic system,” a recently identified network that clears away waste such as beta-amyloid, the protein ...

Older adults with gum disease are more likely to display signs of white matter damage in the brain, which is correlated with memory decline, balance issues, and higher stroke risk. That is according ...
