Imaging/reducing Enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVSs) on MRIs that may have come from sleep apnea (or other causes)? #CSFFluid #GlymphaticClearance

tFUS might be a route in the future
But this is going to be a topic of continued study…

one current hypothesis is that solutes and interstitial fluid leave the brain through intramural peri-arterial drainage (IPAD) pathways.

The study Dr. Carare describes provides evidence for this theory and even a potential explanation and process for the build up of amyloid beta in Alzheimer’s disease. The results suggest that therapies that involve transferring medicine via cerebrospinal fluid may be a suitable option in treating some neurological disorders.
