Could cerebrospinal fluid interactions in the brain help us understand neurodevelopmental conditions?
Researchers have demonstrated novel cerebrospinal fluid dynamics in the brain, which could hold promise for the future of neurodevelopmental research.
A recent study at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis (MO, USA) has begun to uncover how cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) interacts with the brain, utilizing a new X-ray imaging technique to visualize fluid circulation. The study provides early research into the role of CSF and could have implications for a wide range of neurodevelopmental conditions, including hydrocephalus.
