Immunological Roles of Cerebrospinal Fluid
CSF flows between and connects brain border compartments, enabling them to synchronise immune responses to the needs of the CNS. The CSF is also a permissive environment during neuroinflammation, and immune cells are funnelled towards the CSF through multiple routes in diverse neurological diseases.

Impaired glymphatic transport in hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a major cause of neonatal brain injury. The glymphatic system aids in waste clearance via perivascular pathways and is crucial in maintaining brain functions.

The characteristic asymmetric motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD) may be associated with asymmetric deposition of α-synuclein. The impaired glymphatic system may promote pathological deposition of α-synuclein, leading to disease progression.

The glymphatic system is a glial-dependent waste clearance pathway in the central nervous system (CNS) of vertebrates that exploits the perivascular compartment between the vascular basement membrane (outermost wall of blood vessels) and astrocytic ...

Anatomy of spinal CSF loss in the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis)
India ink introduced into the cranial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) compartment of Alligator diffuses along the spinal cord and exits the spinal compartment using perineural flow, resulting in a prominent “ink cuff” forming at the base of the spinal nerve. In Alligator, the region of the ink cuff is drained by a small lymphatic vessel.

Glymphatic system function in diverse glucose metabolism states
The rising prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes globally necessitates a deeper understanding of associated complications, including glymphatic system dysfunction. The glymphatic system, crucial for brain waste clearance, is imp-licated in cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease.

Decrease of excessive daytime sleepiness after shunt treatment for normal pressure hydrocephalus
Summary Sleepiness and apathy are often reported in patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus. However, research on outcomes after shunt surgery has mainly focused on the classical triad symptoms, that is, gait, cognition, and bladder dysfunction. This study aimed to describe the effects of shunt treatment on excessive daytime sleepiness and whether ...
