Here is an overview of the talk. I will first introduce the lymphatic system in the central nervous system, followed by a discussion about how the lymphatic system has been studied in humans. Cerebral spinal fluid, CSF, plays an important role in brain waste clearance and drains through the lymphatic system. CSF pulsation in the brain and related studies will be reviewed. Finally, I will introduce the current understanding of the lymphatic system and the CSF dynamics in the eyes.

To better understand the lymphatic system in the brain, I will first discuss the anatomy of the meninges. The meninges are protective layers surrounding the brain consisting of three layers. The dura mater is the outermost layer closest to the skull. The arachnoid mater is the middle layer, and the pia mater is the innermost layer directly covering the brain tissues. Among these, the dura mater is the most significant in this context because lymphatic vessels are found within this layer. The three layers of the meninges create
