Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is not stagnant but displays fascinating oscillatory flow patterns
inside the ventricular system and reversing fluid exchange between the cranial vault and …

Advances in our understanding of the biology of spinal systems in organizing and defining
the content of exteroceptive information upon which higher centers define the state of the …

PURPOSE: To develop a noninvasive method for intracranial elastance and intracranial
pressure (ICP) measurement. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Intracranial volume and …

Purpose To quantify the effect of posture on intracranial physiology in humans by MRI, and
demonstrate the relationship between intracranial compliance (ICC) and pressure (ICP), and …

Advances in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques enable the accurate
measurements of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow in the human brain. In addition, image …

The dura mater is the outermost and most substantial meningial layer of central nervous
system (CNS) tissue that acts as a protective membrane for the brain and spinal cord. In …

Using first principles of fluid and solid mechanics a comprehensive model of human
intracranial dynamics is proposed. Blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and brain parenchyma …

Background As an alternative to advection, solute transport by shear-augmented dispersion
within oscillatory cerebrospinal fluid flow was investigated in small channels representing …

Object. Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a complex pathological entity, the treatment of which
requires a multipronged approach. One way to integrate different therapeutic strategies for …

Spinal microstructures are known to substantially affect cerebrospinal fluid patterns, yet their
actual impact on flow resistance has not been quantified. Because the length scale of …
