A study by professors from Boston University in collaboration with some academies in the field of scientific research in Massachusetts, revealed that the human brain undergoes a laundering-like process when it goes to sleep in order to rest the body and help it continue to function normally. .
The researchers explained that the function of sleep does not stop when re-activated, but allows for the completion of a process of "cleaning" in the human brain. Cerebral spinal fluid, undergoes a process similar to washing, through several waves, during sleep, and this leads to the disposal of things equivalent to waste .
Scientists from Boston University in Massachusetts found that the fluid found in both the brain and spinal cord is experiencing wave-like reactions, so as to get rid of the accumulation of "metabolic waste."
The study included a sample of 13 people between the ages of 23 and 33, all of whom agreed to undergo brain tests, during sleep, and then wore electroencephalograms.
The results revealed that the brain spinal fluid, reacting harmoniously with brain waves, in order to get rid of brain waste.
"Brain excreta" means many unnecessary elements such as some toxic proteins that can form a barrier to the flow of information between neurons.
