Older adults had weaker brain fluid flow waves during sleep

Nighttime scans of 31 young and 41 older adults linked reduced fluid flow to weaker waves of brain activity and blood-volume change.Nighttime scans of 31 young and 41 older adults linked reduced fluid flow to weaker waves of brain activity and blood-volume change.
