Breathing CO2 May Help the Brain Clear Toxic Proteins in Parkinson’s Disease
“A team of researchers, led by neuropsychologist Sephira Ryman, PhD, associate professor at the Mind Research Network (MRN), part of Touro University’s Lovelace Biomedical Research Institute and the University of New Mexico, Department of Neurology, is exploring how to boost this system, called the glymphatic pathway.
Her team studied how breathing carbon dioxide (CO2) intermittently can boost the glymphatic pathway and help the body get rid of the proteins. Specifically, they investigated how CO2 could be used to dilate and constrict the brain’s blood vessels, which in turn drives the movement of cerebrospinal fluid through brain!!–
