You turn off the light, close your eyes, and it feels like nothing happens. But your brain is running a cleanup operation so intense that scientists only fully mapped it in the last 15 years — your skull physically shrinks, your neurons flush themselves with fluid, and a crew of microscopic janitors scrubs away the waste of a full day of thinking.
In this video: the discovery of the glymphatic system, why sleep deprivation lets Alzheimer's-linked proteins build up, how your brain edits and prunes memories like a desk full of sticky notes, and why some memories get their emotional edges filed down overnight.
