Recorded summary

40 Hz flickering light increased glymphatic influx and efflux in mice. Genetic and pharmacological tests implicated adenosine A2A receptor signalling and aquaporin-4.

Recorded limitations

This measures physiological and signalling mechanisms in mice. It does not establish OXTR transcription changes or a safe, effective human visual protocol.
