A new research has identified a direct correlation between the immune and nervous system, which has never been established before.

Researchers at the School of Medicine at the University of Virginia have found that brain tissue was connected to a peripheral immune system through meningeal lymphatic vessels. Study’s lead researcher Jonathon Kipnis said that the vessels were found to be different in appearance.

It is considered that these vessels might play an important role in the human ageing process. The research findings are opposite to the belief that the lymphatic system ends at the brain.

The research findings were possible due to the work of researcher Antoine Louveau. Louveau has discovered the vessels at the time when he found a way to mount the meninges of a mouse. When he got a hint about the pattern, he carried out tests for the lymphatic vessels and it was found that they were present.

The researchers said the lymphatic vessels were present so close to blood vessel that one could miss to identify them. The discovery has definitely raised a number of questions that now need to be answered.

Also, with this discovery, scientists have decided to change textbooks and learning materials, so they can inform one and all about this breakthrough. It was also to be unveiled that what was considered decades ago was not correct.
