Until recently, the Glymphatic System was a neglected corner of neuroscience. Now it’s increasingly clear that the brain’s system for the flow of fluid, nutrients, and waste plays an important role in sleep and brain disease. With glymphatics in the spotlight, researchers are coming up with innovative ways to study this slow, constant flow of cerebrospinal fluid throughout the brain. Dr. Daniel Claassen is a Professor of Neurology and Chief of the Behavioral and Cognitive Neurology Division at Vanderbilt University, who researches the glymphatic system in humans. He’ll talk about new directions in glymphatics research with Dr. Cheran Elangovan, a Vascular Neurologist at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. Series 6, Episode 1
