F1‐03‐01: Convective Influx/Glymphatic System: Tracers Injected Into the CSF Enter and Leave the Brain Along Separate Periarterial Basement Membrane Pathways
Abstract:Tracers injected into CSF pass into the brain alongside arteries and out again. This has been recently termed the "glymphatic system" that proposes tracers enter the brain along periarterial "spaces" and leave the brain along the walls of veins. The object of the present study is to test the hypothesis that 1) tracers from the CSF enter the cerebral cortex along pial-glial basement membranes as there are no perivascular "spaces" around cortical arteries, 2) tracers leave the brain along smooth muscle cell base… Show more
