About 170 billion cells are in the brain, and as they go about their regular tasks, they produce waste — a lot of it. To stay healthy, the brain needs to wash away all that debris. But how exactly it does this has remained a mystery.
Now, two teams of scientists have published three papers that offer a detailed description of the brain’s waste-removal system. Their insights could help researchers better understand, treat and perhaps prevent a broad range of brain disorders.
The papers, all published in the journal Nature, suggest that during sleep, slow electrical waves push the fluid around cells from deep in the brain to its surface. There, a sophisticated interface allows the waste products in that fluid to be absorbed into the bloodstream, which takes them to the liver and kidneys to be removed from the body. More

If a syphilis infection reaches the brain it can cause a condition known as neurosyphilis. Some of the symptoms of this include memory and thinking problems. If caught early it can be treated, but some case studies have shown continued thinking problems.
To believe he and Hunter weren’t sharing hookers… c’mon man. That’s malarkey.
There’s gotta be a Navage nose sucker joke in there somewhere.
What if you start with shit for brains? Asking for everyone supporting Biden and the democrats.
So that’s why I have to get up to go pee @2:30am?
I remember watching a documentary on the ’85 Bears and how Jim McMahon now has to see a specific chiropractor who could relieve his head aches and fuzzy thinking by opening up a pathway for all the gunk built up in his head to drain properly. He’s part of a lawsuit on concussions against the NFL but still get the adjustment for relief on his old brain injury.
This story reminded me of him.

If they examine the sewer system thoroughly enough, they might find the “leftist thinking” structure.
Thought it would be something about the Internet.
Around my mid-30s, I took a great shit one day and stopped being a democrat.
The young adult brain sounds like a great dumping ground and experiment laboratory for anti-psychotic meds. Added plus is the $$$ we’ll make.
Thank you, pharmaceuticals and psychiatrists.
The brain is like any other muscle. If you stop using it it atrophies. 85% of the population has really weak brains.
@Bongo…
If only. 11:30, 12:45, 2:30, 4:00, 4:30, 4:45, 5:00………
So where do brain farts come from?
What’s all this about Brian’s sewer system? Oh. Never mind.
Well, that explains it. In “normal” people the brain’s sewer system takes the waste product away from the brain to be deposited in the liver, kidneys, and small intestines, but in Demonrats, RINOs, and their supporters the system carries the waste products from the colon and large intestines INTO the brain!
That’s why everything they think is completely contrary to reality and decency!
Maybe they’re not evil; they’re just full of shit?

“One of the waste products carried away is amyloid, the substance that forms sticky plaques in the brains of patients with Alzheimer’s disease.”
Fucking retards. “Plaques,” are the dementia equivalent of, “the fine people hoax.” Both, like meconium, are damn near impossible to wipe away.
https://news.uchicago.edu/where-has-alzheimers-research-gone-wrong:
| Paul Rand: The evidence for why these amyloid plaques
| may be the wrong place to look and where Herrup thinks
| we should be looking after the break. Have you ever
| wondered who you are, but didn’t know who to ask?
| Well then, join Professor Eric Oliver as he poses
| the nine most essential questions for knowing
| yourself to some of humanity’s wisest and most
| interesting people. Nine Questions with Eric Oliver,
| part of the University of Chicago Podcast Network.
| For much of the time we’ve studied Alzheimer’s,
| researchers’ theories have remained the same,
| amyloid plaques causes Alzheimer’s.
|
| Karl Herrup: But I say, okay, let’s take that on.
| If that’s true, then if I have plaques, I must have
| dementia or I must be on my way to it. And it turns
| out that nothing could be further from the truth.
| If we take a cross section of individuals who are,
| say, 75 years old or 80 years old, and we look
| in their brains, either with modern PET imaging
| or after they die with neuropathology, we will find
| that about 30% of them have plaque burdens that
| a pathologist would say looks like Alzheimer’s disease.
|
| Paul Rand: But they don’t have the symptoms?
|
| Karl Herrup: They have no symptoms. They’re cognitively normal.
