Ernst Schering Prize Winner 2024 gives speech at the Charité

Ernst Schering Preis 2024 Awardee Maiken Nedergaard has made a crucial contribution to our understanding of brain physiology through her discovery and description of the glymphatic system. Her findings have fundamentally changed our understanding of how waste is removed from the brain. By highlighting the role of the glymphatic system in eliminating potentially neurotoxic substances, including beta-amyloid, during sleep, Nedergaard has opened new avenues in sleep research and provided key insights into the connections between sleep and neurodegenerative diseases.
