Abstract Background: Since the discovery of the glymphatic system in mice with clearance functions distributed throughout the brain, more and more scholars have begun to study the glymphatic system. However, there are a limited number of correlations between glymphatic system and cognition. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the research trends, hotspots, and frontiers of glymphatic system in cognition using bibliometric analysis. Methods: Publications from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database spanning 15 years from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2023 were screened. All eligible publication were included based on our comprehensive search strategy. The analysis of annual publications, countries/regions, institutions, journals, authors, co-cited journals, co-cited authors, and keywords was conducted using CiteSpace and VOSviewer, and the hotspots and major findings of the glymphatic system in cognition were summarised. In addition, ArcGIS software was used to geovisualize the count of publications. Results: A total of 625 publications were included in this study. Overall, the number of publications has been increasing steadily per year. These publications were published in 59 countries/regions and 149 institutions. Of these, American institutions had the highest number of publications, and their international influence also ranked first. The journal “Neurology” published the most publications and was considered the most co-cited journal. Wardlaw, Joanna M was t...
