Though getting better all the time, with a few backwards jumps now and then.

The unexpected presence of the lymphatic vessels raises a tremendous number of questions that now need answers, both about the workings of the brain and the diseases that plague it.

This here tube to the brain discovery is a BIG thing. Well it will be once they use it to make and control zombies by feeding them genetically engineered cookies.
