In rodents, the cerebrospinal fluid that envelops the brain flows to areas necessary for normal brain development and function. In young rats with hydrocephalus (accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain) the circulation appears abnormal.
The brain floats in a sea of fluid that cushions it against injury, supplies it with nutrients and carries away waste. Disruptions to the normal ebb and flow of the fluid have been linked to neurological conditions including Alzheimer's disease ...
