Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), a colorless liquid that generally circulates from the lateral
ventricles to the third and fourth ventricles, provides essential nutrients for brain homeostasis …

Fluid homeostasis is fundamental for brain function with cerebral edema and hydrocephalus
both being major neurological conditions. Fluid movement from blood into brain is one …

Background A range of neurological pathologies may lead to secondary hydrocephalus.
Treatment has largely been limited to surgical cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion, as …

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) envelops the brain and fills the central ventricles. This fluid is
continuously replenished by net fluid extraction from the vasculature by the secretory action …

Background The mechanisms of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production by the ventricular
choroid plexus (ChP) have not been fully deciphered. One prominent hypothesized …

Background Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a potentially reversible
neurological condition of unresolved etiology characterized by a clinical triad of symptoms; …

The architecture of the vertebrate eye is optimized for efficient delivery and transduction of
photons and processing of signaling cascades downstream from phototransduction. The …

The choroid plexus is a tissue located in the lateral ventricles of the brain and is composed
mainly of choroid plexus epithelium cells. The main function is currently thought to be the …

Hydrocephalus is a devastating condition characterized by excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
in the brain. Currently, the only effective treatment is surgical intervention, usually involving …

Professor Hans H. Ussing (1911–2000) was one of the founding members of the field of
epithelial cell biology. He is most famous for the electrophysiological technique that he …
