  Isn’t this also what happens when we sleep?

  Study was done in mice, and it relies on massaging specific lymph nodes which are easily accessible for massage (sounds like most of the lymph nodes related to the brain-flushing mechanism are too deep in the neck to really get at).

  Super curious if/where humans have analogues.

    Because you don’t want her giving you a face massage so you can take a brain poop? Gonna need some further explanation, chief.

  Perhaps why we rub our eyes when tired? I wonder.
