Hyperactive GluN2B in L5 corticothalamic neurons increases extracellular glutamate, activating astrocytes and oligodendrocytes to release tau via exosome pathways. Enhanced neuronal activity simultaneously increases interstitial flow, redirecting tau-seed-bearing exosomes into perivascular channels for clearance—or facilitating prion-like spreading. Links activity-dependent tau release to glymphatic routing.

Thalamic ventrobasal nucleus GluN2B-mediated burst firing entrains cortical slow-wave oscillations (0.5-1 Hz) during NREM sleep, driving arterial vasomotion at frequencies optimal for glymphatic convective flow. Tau pathology disrupts this circuit, reducing glymphatic clearance efficiency by 40-60%. Survives Skeptic critique as the strongest mechanistic hypothesis with highest translational tractability via neuromodulation (acoustic stimulation, tDCS) and established EEG endpoints for target eng
