Cerebrospinal Fluid; Lymphatic System; Glymphatics; Embryology; Choroid Plexus; Medical Knowledge
Description
Classical teaching posits that cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is formed in the choroid plexus, circulates like a flowing river in the neuraxis, and is absorbed by the arachnoid granulations into the venous system. Simple. But is it really true? This review of recent publications will (1) provide an update on CSF embryology and physiology, (2) explore the evidence for lymphatic vessels in the brain and (3) describe the glymphatic system.
