Eavesdropping on Neuronal Gossip

It has been theorized and proven that synchronizations of neuronal activity in different parts of the brain lead to neural oscillations, more commonly known as “Brain Waves.” But what are these “brain activities,” and how do they originate? Read this interesting article to find out more!

The ‘G’-lymphatic system 

The lymphatic system is well-known for its role in the body’s defence system against internal as well as external threats. But that’s not all. Along with its defence-oriented functions, the lymphatic system plays a major role in maintaining fluid balance in the body. The central nervous system or CNS is characterized by a disproportionately high metabolic rate along with a complex and extremely environment-sensitive synaptic transmission that can be hampered due to the accumulation of waste metabolites. However, there is no evident conventional lymphatic organisation in CNS. Read this article to find out about the newly discovered glymphatic system, a macroscopic waste clearance system directly involved in the transport of waste metabolites and solutes generated by the CNS!
