Sleep rescues age-associated loss of glial engulfment
2025-04-03
Abstract excerpt
Neuronal injury due to trauma or neurodegeneration is a common feature of aging. The clearance of damaged neurons by glia is thought to be critical for maintenance of proper brain function. Sleep loss has been shown to inhibit the motility and function of glia that clear damaged axons while enhancement of sleep promotes clearance of damaged axons. Despite the potential role of glia in maintenance of brain function...
