Description
Lucila Capurro and seven co-authors report a 2026 study on how aging reshapes slow brain waves in sleep. Slow oscillations sweep the brain in deep sleep. They help drive the flow of fluid that clears waste from the brain. Old age brings fewer and weaker waves, which is well known.
The team say the timing of the waves counts too, and has been missed. They sort waves into lone ones and trains of back-to-back waves, by the gaps between them. Overnight brain records then show if age breaks that time order, past the plain drop in count.
