The Dynamics of Brain Waves in Cleansing

The dynamics of brain waves during sleep play a critical role in the brain's cleansing process. These waves vary in amplitude and rhythm throughout the sleep cycle, influencing the force with which cerebrospinal fluid moves through the brain. Taller waves with larger amplitude are particularly effective in propelling the fluid, enhancing the brain's waste removal process. Understanding why neurons fire these waves with varying rhythmicity and how different patterns affect cleansing efficiency could unlock new methods to optimize the brain's self-cleaning process.
