Turns out, your brain has its own waste-clearing system (the glymphatic system), and if it’s not working right after a stroke, your brain can actually age faster! MRI scans showed stroke patients had more 'old brain' signs and worse neurological symptoms, all linked to this system being out of whack. This could mean new ways to treat or even prevent brain aging after a stroke. Who knew brain cleaning was so important? #BrainHealth #StrokeAwareness #ScienceNews #AgingBrain #MedicalResearch #Health
