In a thought experiment, a "washing machine" model is proposed based on turbulent flow from complex multi-dimensional forces to characterize fluid dynamics in the brain. The glymphatic system's hypothetical role in this system is illustrated in a series of diagrams. Implications of this model are discussed in terms of normal physiology and a variety of pathologic conditions such as brain atrophy and Alzheimer disease.
在一项思维实验中,基于复杂多维力产生的湍流提出了一种“洗衣机”模型,以描述大脑中的流体动力学。一系列图表展示了类淋巴系统在该系统中的假设作用。从正常生理学以及诸如脑萎缩和阿尔茨海默病等多种病理状况的角度讨论了该模型的意义。
