Author Description

Waste Clearance in the Brain provides an in-depth exploration of the brain's essential waste clearance systems, focusing on the glymphatic and cerebrospinal fluid pathways. This book examines the body's natural defense mechanisms against harmful substances like abnormal proteins and metal deposits linked to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. With clear explanations, it covers how foreign pathogens and harmful proteins are managed by cerebrospinal fluid, brain vasculature, and the meningeal lymphatic systems. It also discusses cutting-edge research on therapeutic approaches targeting the blood-brain barrier and brain cell regulation. Key Features:- Comprehensive overview of brain waste clearance pathways and systems- Examination of abnormal protein and metal deposition impacts on brain health- Insights into potential therapies for neurodegenerative diseases- Discussion on the brain's vascular and immune system roles in waste clearance Readership:This book is ideal for neuroscientists, neurologists, medical researchers, graduate students, healthcare professionals, and readers interested in neurobiology.
