Magnetic resonance imaging provides evidence of glymphatic drainage from human brain to cervical lymph nodes

Abstract Pre-clinical research in rodents provides evidence that the central nervous system (CNS) has functional lymphatic vessels. In-vivo observations in humans, however, are not demonstrated. We here show data on CNS lymphatic drainage to cervical lymph nodes in-vivo by magnetic resonance imaging...
