Mouse Study Shows That the Brain Drowns Itself During Stroke
Cerebral edema, swelling that occurs in the brain, is a severe and potentially fatal complication of stroke. New research conducted in mice shows for the first time that the glymphatic system - normally associated with the beneficial task of waste removal - goes awry during a stroke and floods the brain, triggering edema and drowning brain cells.
