The glymphatic pathway in neurological disorders

MK Rasmussen, H Mestre, M Nedergaard - The Lancet Neurology, 2018 - thelancet.com

Flow of cerebrospinal fluid is driven by arterial pulsations and is reduced in hypertension

H Mestre, J Tithof, T Du, W Song, W Peng… - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
Flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) through perivascular spaces (PVSs) in the brain is

The role of brain barriers in fluid movement in the CNS: is there a 'glymphatic'system?

NJ Abbott, ME Pizzo, JE Preston, D Janigro… - Acta …, 2018 - Springer
Brain fluids are rigidly regulated to provide stable environments for neuronal function, eg,
low K+, Ca 2+, and protein to optimise signalling and minimise neurotoxicity. At the same …
