- Scientists just found a hidden “drain” inside the human brain
Scientists discovered a hidden waste-removal pathway in the human brain using advanced MRI scans, revealing fluid flows along the middle meningeal artery in a lymphatic-like manner. This finding identifies a previously unknown drainage hub, potentially revolutionizing understanding of brain aging, injury, and diseases like Alzheimer’s.
