A new wearable device has been developed to noninvasively monitor the brain's glymphatic system, which helps clear waste and may play a role in neurological conditions like Alzheimer's. Traditionally only measurable via MRI, researchers can now observe this system throughout different sleep stages using a head cap embedded with electrodes. The device revealed that glymphatic activity doesn't simply switch on during sleep and off when awake, but instead builds progressively during sleep and decre...
