Synopsis
Although research into brain waste clearance has recently gained increasing attention, the driving force(s) as well as the physiological processes involved still remain strongly debated. Here, we assess the influence of the cardiac cycle and of respiration on the mobility of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), thought to be an important waste carrier. We found that the cardiac cycle was inducing higher CSF-mobility changes than respiration.
