This study investigates how cerebral blood volume (CBV) affects glymphatic influx through changes in extra-ventricular cerebrospinal fluid volume across different anesthetic and awake conditions in mice.

The paper develops a novel MRI technique, HEAP-METRIC, to map slow CSF flow in mice and shows it is reduced under anesthesia.

The paper identifies shared circuit-level abnormalities between MECP2 transgenic monkeys and a subgroup of human autism patients, highlighting the need for a multimodal approach to study genetic effects in a primate model.
