25、r.DJust as our bodies produce waste every day which is why we need to shower and use the toilet our brains produce harmful waste proteins. But how can our brains “shower” themselves?A 2017 study found the answer. Researchers at the US University of Rochester studied the brains of mice and discovered

26、 that they cleaned themselves while the mice slept.

31、may explain why people with Alzheimers often have fewer and weaker slow brainwaves. Based on this new study, there could be one more explanation for diseased brains: They are not clean. Nedergaard, leader of the 2018 study, is also excited about the new findings. “Maybe the most important take-home

32、message is that sleep is a serious thing,” she told Scientific American. “You really need to sleep to keep a healthy brain because it links electrical activity to a practical housekeeping function.”12.
