Abstract: The classical teaching of the three membranes covering the brain, the pia, arachnoid and dura mater, has recently been redefined by the discovery of a fourth meningeal layer which is immunophenotypically distinct. This has been named the subarachnoid lymphatic membrane (SLYM) by Mollgard and, although only a few cells thick, divides the subarachnoid space into two different spaces bathed in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This newly discovered membrane surrounds the blood vessels in the subarachnoid space and is made up largely of immune cells aligning the relationship between the glymphatic system, CSF flow, brain homeostasis and the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease [1].
