Show abstract
The glymphatic system contributes to a large proportion of brain waste clearance, including removal of amyloid {beta} (A{beta}). We have demonstrated that glutamate and {gamma}-aminobutyric acid (GABA) influence glymphatic clearance through distinct mechanisms whereby GABA exerts modulatory effects in an aquaporin-4 (AQP4)-dependent manner while the actions of glutamate are pulsation-dependent. The efficacy of GABA and glutamate in alleviating A{beta} in APP-PS1 and Angiotensin-II (Ang-II) induced hypertension mouse models was further evaluated. Notably, increasing GABA or inhibiting glutamate levels led to reduced binding of A{beta} to pre-labeled plaques to similar extents in APP-PS1 mice while GABA appeared more efficient in A{beta} clearance in hypertensive animals than the glutamate inhibitor. Our findings support the modulation of neurotransmitters that influence the glymphatic pathway via distinct mechanisms as a potentially effective therapeutic strategy for clearance of A{beta} deposits from the brain.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
