The "glymphatic system" in the brain has been researched in recent years is thought to be a "clearance pathway" or "organ system for metabolic waste removal in the central nervous system" by many scientists recently studying and mapping the features.
Medical researchers typically distinguish somatic features by physical boundaries or chemical property differences. Much like myofascial trigger points were controversial before being located using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and now TrP therapy is covered by insurance, the glymphatic network is finally, slowly becoming uncovered and confirmed in vivo.
Some of us bodyworkers who have intuitively sensed this dynamic network and other somatic networks before imaged by technology, believe that it has more functions, such as communication, analysis and sentry. Not only may it have more functions, but it may be manipulated by kinetic bodywork and non-kinetic bodywork, and not just by pharmaceuticals that are being patented.
