Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

This is a well written review on the Interplay between the GS and the Endocannabinoid  system. I would recommend that you spell out GS inthe title. The Glymphatic  System is well defined  and described. This is also true of the Endoconnabinoid  System. The authors did an excelleent job of tying the references to each subject heading and explaining in detail how each system works and are interconnected. I must state that I was most impressed on how extensive you tied the system to each. You clearly showed the relationship of the two system to the most common disorders (Alzheimer's, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson'sHuntington's, and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The authors are very perceptive on the future need for more scientific work needs to done on the subject matter. Please correct me If I missed it ,but I did not find any author in the references that wrote this review. You done an excellent job on a very extensive and comprehensive references for the paper.

We added figure 2, which includes a general mechanism for all neurodegenerative diseases.

- The title should not contain abbreviations.

We apologize for this error, we modified the title.

- What is GS in the abstract?

We apologize for this error, we eliminated all abbreviations in the title and abstract. GS stands for Glymphatic System.

Round 2

Reviewer 2 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

Still, the manuscript has multiple fonts, not uniform.

Figures are missing, I cant find the figures in both manuscript and supplement files.

Author Response

Dear reviewer,


We have taken the necessary steps to address the concerns you raised. Specifically, regarding the issue of multiple fonts and missing figures. However, it appears that there may be an issue with the submission platform. We have meticulously reviewed both the main manuscript and supplement files to verify the presence of all figures. We uploaded a single PDF file containing the manuscript and figures (at the end of the manuscript).

Best regards
