Dysfunction of motile cilia in ependymal cells has been proposed to be a pathogenic cause
of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) overaccumulation leading to ventricular expansion in …

This review focuses on the physiology of glymphatic solute transport and waste clearance,
using evidence from experimental animal models as well as from human studies. Specific …

The choroid plexus (ChP) is the blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barrier and the primary
source of CSF. Acquired hydrocephalus, caused by brain infection or hemorrhage, lacks …

Quantitative MRI enables direct quantification of contrast agent concentrations in contrast-
enhanced scans. However, the lengthy scan times required by conventional methods are …

The choroid plexus (ChP) is the blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barrier and the primary
source of CSF. Acquired hydrocephalus, caused by brain infection or hemorrhage, lacks …

This chapter reviews the basic principles of central nervous system (CNS) fluid homeostasis
including cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and glymphatic system physiology as well as new …

Purpose: To investigate whether deep cervical lymph node (DCLN) ligation alters
intracranial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tracer dynamics and outflow using a rat model with …

Abstract Aquaporins (AQPs), transmembrane water-conducting channels, have earned a
great deal of scrutiny for their critical physiological roles in healthy and disease cell states …

The choroid plexus (ChP) secretes a half-liter/day of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and is the
blood-CSF barrier with critical immune functions. Hydrocephalus, commonly caused by …

Recent studies have suggested the glymphatic system as a solute transport pathway and
waste removal mechanism in the brain. Imaging intracisternally administered tracers …
