Lymphatic vessels at the base of the mouse brain provide direct drainage to the periphery p.34

A set of lymphatic vessels that wrap around the base of the mouse brain have been shown to drain fluid from the brain into the peripheral lymphatic system, and to exhibit a decline in function with ageing.
