Brain cerebrospinal fluid flow

Discoveries of the last decade increasingly support the idea that by flowing through and around the brain, cerebrospinal fluid and other water-like fluids constitute a distinct transport system, important for removing metabolic waste from the brain and relevant to brain injuries. This paper reviews one team's recent studies of brain cerebrospinal fluid flow. We consider the characteristics of flows and the spaces through which they pass, flow drivers, and application to drug delivery and stroke.
