  • Glymphatic fluid transport is directionally polarized: influx along penetrating arteries, AQP4-supported entry into neuropil, and efflux along peri-venous spaces and cranial and spinal nerves.

    “fluid transport through the glymphatic system is directionally polarized, with influx along penetrating arteries, fluid entry into the neuropil supported by AQP4, and efflux along the peri-venous spaces, as well as along the cranial and spinal nerves (24, 32–34).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
