Cerebrospinal fluid and hydrocephalus

Cerebrospinal fluid and hydrocephalus is a research topic within Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience. Science Explorer counts 35k research works in it since 1950. 9.9% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers explores the mechanisms and pathways involved in the clearance of waste products and metabolites from the brain, including the role of the glymphatic system, cerebrospinal fluid dynamics, lymphatic drainage, and the impact on neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and hydrocephalus. It also delves into the structural and functional features of perivascular pathways, choroid plexus biology, and the implications for brain aging.
