Cerebrospinal fluid flow extends to peripheral nerves further unifying the nervous system
The nervous system has traditionally been segregated into distinct central and peripheral components. However, our work demonstrates the interconnectedness of the nervous system through the continuity of CSF flow from CNS into peripheral nerves and suggests an impor tant role for CSF in PNS maintenance.

New direct links discovered between the brain and its surrounding environment
This challenges the conventional wisdom which has suggested that the brain is cut off from its surroundings by a series of protective barriers, keeping it safe from dangerous chemicals and toxins lurking in the environment.
Glymphatic System
“The glymphatic system is a recently discovered macroscopic waste clearance system that utilizes a unique system of perivascular channels, formed by astroglial cells, to promote efficient elimination of soluble proteins and metabolites from the central nervous system.”
“The biological need for sleep across all species may therefore reflect that the brain must enter a state of activity that enables elimination of potentially neurotoxic waste products, including β-amyloid.”
