🚨 New Study Alert! 🧠🧪

How does your brain handle a blocked drain — and does age make it worse? 🤔💧

This podcast dives into how chronic impairment of deep cervical lymphatic drainage affects brain fluid dynamics and triggers low-grade neuroinflammation — all in an age-dependent manner. 🧓⚖️👶

🔍 Using DCE-MRI, proteomics, and metabolomics, we found that:

✅ Young brains adapt with increased clearance and extracranial drainage

⚠️ Middle-aged brains show blunted responses and molecular signs of stress

🧬 Both age groups reveal early markers of neurodegeneration and BBB leakage
