Personal statement The objective of my work is to understand the biological functions of astrocytes, their ability to interact with other cell types, and to use this knowledge to develop novel therapeutic strategies to treat, or perhaps cure, a variety of neurological diseases. In vivo explorations have radically challenged the classical dogma – that neurons are the sole substrate of higher brain function – and have led to a shift in paradigm by including astrocytes and other glial cells in higher cognitive functions. No current medications used in clinical medicine target glial cells – the most numerous cells in CNS. The premise for my work is that understanding the basic functions of glial cells offers extraordinary opportunities for combating disease. We have recently identified a fundamentally novel pathway for interstitial solute clearance from the brain consisting of a para-arterial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) influx path and a para-venous interstitial fluid (ISF) clearance route, which are coupled through convective interstitial bulk flow supported by astrocytic AQP4 water channels. We designated it “the glymphatic system” based on its adoption of functions analogous to the peripheral lymphatic system and the dependence of CSF/ISF fluxes on astroglial AQP4.

Review Series Recent discoveries of the glymphatic system and of meningeal lymphatic vessels have generated a lot of excitement, along with some degree of skepticism. Here, we summarize the state of the field and point out the gaps of knowledge that should be filled through further research. We discuss the glymphatic system as a system that allows CNS perfusion by the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and interstitial fluid (ISF). We also describe the recently characterized meningeal lymphatic vessels and their role in drainage of the brain ISF, CSF, CNS-derived molecules, and immune cells from the CNS and meninges to the peripheral (CNS-draining) lymph nodes. We speculate on the relationship between the two systems and their malfunction that may underlie some neurological diseases. Although much remains to be investigated, these new discoveries have changed our understanding of mechanisms underlying CNS immune privilege and CNS drainage.

  • The Brain's Waste-Removal System
    Cerebrum August 2018 The Brain’s Waste-Removal System By Helene Benveniste, M.D., Ph.D. Source/Shutterstock Editor’s Note: The brain, like other parts of the body, needs to maintain “homeostasis” (a constant state) to function, and that requires continuous removal of metabolic waste. For decades, the brain’s waste-removal system remained a mystery to scientists. A few years ago, a team of researchers—with the help of our author—finally found the answer. This discovery—dubbed the glymphatic system— will help us understand how toxic waste accumulates in devastating disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and point to possible strategies to prevent it. In early February 2012, I received a note from Maiken Nedergaard, a renowned neuroscientist at the University of Rochester whom I knew from our time as medical students at the University of 1 Cerebrum August 2018 Copenhagen. She explained that her team had discovered important features of a new system that transports the fluid that surrounds the brain—a substance called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The discovery of how this fluid was transported in the brain, she believed, was the key to understanding how waste is cleared from the brain. Nedergaard’s work with the non-neuronal brain cells called “astroglia” had led her to suspect that these cells might play a role in CSF transport and brain cleansing. She was inspired by an older study' which showed that CSF could rapidly penetrate into channels along the brain vasculature, and astroglial cells structurally help create these channels. Now she needed help with visualizing the system in the whole brain to confirm her suspicions.

Astrocytes Alive! Maiken Nedergaard, M.D., D.M.Sc. University of Rochester Medical Center Abstract The lecture will describe how advances in optical imaging allow us for the first time to study the function of electrically non-excitable cell types in brain. Traditionally, neuroscience has used electrophysiology approaches and thereby overlooked astrocytes – the primary non-excitable cell type in brain. Astrocytes are more numerous than neurons in the adult human brain. It is therefore of considerable interest to define their roles in higher brain function and neurological diseases.

  • Postdoc/Asst Prof – the Glymphatic System, Brain Clearance and Neuroglia Under Physiological Conditions and in Disease Models
    Postdoc/Asst Prof – The Glymphatic System, Brain Clearance and Neuroglia under physiological conditions and in disease models The Center for Translational Neuromedicine at the University of Rochester invites applications for postdoctoral research associates and/or junior faculty positions in neuroscience to join the laboratory of Maiken Nedergaard, to study the glymphatic system and neuroglia signaling under physiological conditions and in disease models. Mission The neurobiology of glia cells is one of the most rapidly developing areas in neuroscience. For the first time in experimental history, in vivo imaging technologies permit the study of fundamental function of astrocytes in awake behaving animals. These experiments have challenged the idea that cognitive function is based only on neuronal circuits. In addition, astrocytes play a crucial role in clearance of solutes and neurotoxins from the brain to meningeal and cervical lymph vessels. This brain-wide clearance system, named the glymphatic system, is the primary focus of the lab. The glymphatic system represents unique opportunities for novel fundamental discoveries. The glymphatic system has provided break-throughs in understanding why we sleep, mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases, how edema forms in stroke, and has provided new information on biological timekeeping. The lab uses multiple alternative approaches and works closely with fluid dynamicists to develop new models understanding how brain fluid flow and brain activity work together. A natural extension of this work includes the regulation of extracellular ion concentrations and the impact of extracellular K+ on neural circuits. We are seeking candidates interested in furthering this work, and expanding the field’s knowledge into models of stroke, chronic neuropathic pain and chronic stress.
