Mice deficient in adaptive immunity have impaired cognitive and social function compared to that of wild-type mice. Importantly\, rep lenishment of the T cell compartment in immune deficient mice restored pro per brain function. We have identified several key T cell-derived cytokine s that mediate the effect. Despite the robust influence on brain function\ , T cells are not found within the brain parenchyma\, a fact that only add s more mystery into these enigmatic interactions between T cells and the b rain. Our results suggest that meningeal space\, surrounding the brain\, i s the site where CNS-associated immune activity takes place. We have recen tly discovered a presence of meningeal lymphatic vessels that drain CNS mo lecules and immune cells to the deep cervical lymph nodes and also regulat e perfusion of the brain by CSF (glymphatic flow). This communication betw een the CNS and meninges is playing a key role in several neurological and psychiatric disorders and\, therefore\, may serve as a novel therapeutic target that is worth in-depth mechanistic exploration.\n\nThe seminar will be given online via Zoom.
