DTI-ALPS as a marker of glymphatic function: Review of the literature findings, methodology, and interpretation [PDF]
The glymphatic system (GS) describes how the brain clears toxins and metabolic waste. Accumulation of these elements can contribute to onset and severity of brain disorders, so the importance of measuring the GS is vital to understanding how neurological
