Our brain is a complex and delicate organ that requires utmost care to keep it healthy. It is surrounded by a thin layer of tissue called the subarachnoid lymphatic-like membrane (SLYM). This SLYM serves two important functions: it helps to keep fresh cerebrospinal fluid separate from fluid containing waste, and also keeps the brain from becoming overloaded with toxins. 

The SLYM has similarities to the body’s lymphatic system, as both are involved in helping move fluids throughout the body. In addition, the SLYM itself contains small vessels that act similar to capillaries by allowing nutrients and oxygen to pass into the brain while removing some toxins out of it at the same time. 

This specialized tissue layer plays an important role in maintaining proper blood flow and drainage within our brains.
