The glymphatic system clears brain waste, especially during sleep, helping maintain neural health. Our research poster uses bibliometric and literature-based analysis to identify the top 100 most cited papers, analyze common information (such as authors, institutions, journals, and themes), and summarize articles on protein aggregation, neuroinflammation, and drug mechanisms. Ultimately, we found that drugs like deferoxamine (DFO) and engineered nanoparticles may help the brain clear waste by reducing inflammation and supporting toxin removal.
