Assessing lymphatic route of CSF outflow and peripheral lymphatic contractile activity during head‐down tilt using near‐infrared fluorescence imaging

Assessing lymphatic route of CSF outflow and peripheral lymphatic contractile activity during head‐down tilt using near‐infrared fluorescence imaging

Abstract Evidence overwhelmingly suggests that the lymphatics play a critical role in the clearance of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the cranial space. Impairment of CSF outflow into the lymphatics is associated with a number of pathological conditions including spaceflight‐associated neuro‐ocular...
