Clickbait title. “The anatomy of brain waste removal”
A hyphen woulda helped. "brain-washing"
ironically, I find that more interesting.
in simple terms....gila pass glycose to neurons via lactate so that NH can be removed from neurons....next brain-washing moves that set of molecules back to the blood stream so kidneys can remove it...
There is a lot more to it, especially from an immune system point of view.
Thanks for posting this. As someone who picked up reading brain anatomy as casually as I might read technical documentation this put a few puzzle pieces together that I found quite satisfying. Good read, interesting topic. Pretty neat.
