Running through your body is a network of channels and junctions called the lymphatic system, which siphons off waste and fluids like a biological sewer.
It was long thought the brain was excluded from
this web of anatomical plumbing. After being spotted in mice brains two
years ago, researchers have now confirmed the presence of lymphatic
vessels in human brains, fueling speculation over the kinds of diseases
they might be responsible for.
Way back in 1816,
an Italian anatomist by the name of Paolo Mascagni saw what he thought
were lymphatic vessels running across the human brain of the cadavers he
was dissecting.
