This study reveals a distinctive network of lymphatic vessels at the back of the nose that serves as a major hub for the outflow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to deep cervical lymph nodes in the neck.

Scientists at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have uncovered a non-invasive method to boost the brain’s natural waste drainage system—a discovery that they suggest could open new avenues for ...

A CSF leak occurs when cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) escapes from the protective layer surrounding the brain and spinal cord. This is a serious condition that can cause headaches, seizures, or meningitis.
