Sleeping Brains Take a Bath (Current Event)


 Hi! I’m back. I haven’t post anything for while. Sorry!
Today, I am going to talk about interesting article. I went on the website called student science. I actually had posted once before, but if you want to visit, go on to the website Science Current Event. Press it!


The topic I chose is called, “Sleeping Brains Take a Bath.”
It is about what it exactly says on the title. Sleeping brain take a bath. Chiara Cirelli is a researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She had an experiment with a mouse named Lulu. She had taken care of the mouse to have a good condition to sleep and good condition to have activities. Her effort was successful. Mouse had slept when she had made a good condition to sleep even it was the afternoon. She found out when mouse was asleep, the fluid floodgate had got opened, and when the fluid went through the brain cells, it washed away cellular litter. The garbage thing they are talking about is made up in the brain cell while animal is awake. When an animal is asleep, the fluid flows well. But when the animal is not in a deep sleep, the faucet like floodgate swells and lessen the fluid. The junk builds up in the brain while animal is awake. This junk is not good. This is related to Alzheimer disease. So it is not good.
 I think this article wants to tell you that sleeping helps not only your tiring but also it helps your brains functions well. 
 This is the end of the post today. It is kind of short but it has good contents! Thank you, Ill be back next week!
