Claims16
A method for improving cerebrospinal fluid clearance through a glymphatic system, while a patient is sleeping, resting, or a combination thereof, the method comprising:
- measuring ultrasound data;
- extracting B-wave oscillations from the ultrasound data;
- selecting a target region of a brain for neural modulation;
- and
- administering neural modulation to the target region, wherein the neural modulation is configured for increasing one or more B-wave parameters.
