A group of scientists from Oregon Health & Science University, located in the US state of Oregon, discovered that the human brain “sewage system‘ managed to imagine. This event, which occurred for the first time in the medical world, for some diseases may be important.

Scientists in 2012 studied mouse brainsThey discovered there was a sewage system. Later research showed that systems similar to this one existed also found in humans had been discovered. With the latest study, another discovery has been made about the human brain.

How exactly does the “sewerage system” work?

Our brains are surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid surrounding it. In addition to protecting the brain from environmental influences, it also protects cerebrospinal fluid transports nutrients to the brain. In parallel, the waste accumulated in the brain is also excreted with the cerebrospinal fluid. The research made it possible to visualize how this complex process works and how waste is sent out of the brain. Here are the points shown with red arrows in the photo above, the human brain sanitary facilities.

Neurologist Juan Piantino, who led the study, said he had to undergo brain surgery for this study. 5 patients He explained what he found. Experts stained the cerebrospinal fluid of these patients and in the next phase examined the movement of this fluid. Here, research and special imaging techniques show that the human brain contains nutrients in this fluid. you didn’t pick it up randomlyrevealed that the fluid transferred through certain routes reaches the brain tissue. Waste products were also removed from the brain tissue via these routes.
