Glymphatic MRI in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus
The glymphatic system has been shown in animal studies to support the clearance of waste metabolites from the brain interstitial space. Using MRI, Ringstad et al. visualize the glymphatic system for the first time in humans. Glymphatic clearance is sleep-
