Brain Limphatics
Scientists have discovered never-before-seen vessels in the brain "They'll have to rewrite the textbooks." FIONA MACDONALD 19 JUL 2016 Scientists in the US have discovered a new series of lymphatic vessels in the body that link the brain to the immune system - a connection researchers had previously thought didn't exist. The discovery could not only prompt a rewrite of the textbooks, it might also lead to a new understanding of how our immune system influences our brain and our behaviour.
