The sleep-wake cycle regulates brain interstitial fluid tau in mice and CSF tau in humans
The sleep-wake cycle affects tau protein levels in brain fluid of mice and spinal fluid of humans

Abstract
Mouse interstitial fluid tau levels increased by approximately 90% during normal wakefulness compared to sleep.
- Chronic sleep deprivation raised interstitial fluid tau levels by about 100%.
- Human cerebrospinal fluid tau levels increased by more than 50% during sleep deprivation.
- Chronic sleep deprivation was associated with increased spreading of tau pathology in a tau seeding-and-spreading model.
- Chemogenetically induced wakefulness in mice significantly elevated both interstitial fluid Aβ and tau levels.
- The sleep-wake cycle is linked to the regulation of interstitial fluid tau levels.
