cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), clear, colourless liquid that fills and surrounds the brain and the spinal cord and provides a mechanical barrier against shock. Formed primarily in the ventricles of the brain, the cerebrospinal fluid supports the brain and provides lubrication between surrounding bones and the brain and spinal cord.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics are increasingly studied in aging and neurological disorders. Models of CSF-mediated waste clearance suggest that altered CSF dynamics could play a role in the accumulation o...

By injecting the animals with a fluorescent molecule that can trace the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, the researchers found that its levels, too, varied with norepinephrine levels during non-REM sleep. To gauge whether the blood vessel pulsations propel glymphatic flow, the researchers stimulated the area of the mouse brain that produces the ...

Hydrocephalus (HC) is a heterogenous disease characterized by alterations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics that may cause increased intracranial pressure...
