Photobiomodulation during sleep turns the brain into a washing machine, helping to cleanse its tissues of toxic beta-amyloid and increase resistance to the progression of Alzheimer's disease.
is the best medication. However, it is still unknown why the brain recovers better in sleep and whether these processes can be controlled.
Recent discoveries have shown that the lymphatic system of the brain is activated during sleep, which contributes to the removal of metabolites, toxins and unnecessary molecules from its tissues. Sleep disturbance contributes to the deposition of metabolites in the central nervous system . For example, sleep is a biomarker for the development of Alzheimer's disease. This is due to the fact that the toxic metabolite beta-amyloid is excreted from brain tissue during sleep.
Sleep deprivation leads to the accumulation of toxin in the CNS, which over time can lead to the development of Alzheimer's disease.Frontiers of Optoelectronics
