A comprehensive understanding of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) system is crucial for understanding the health and disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Recent research has significantly improved our knowledge of the CSF system in both health and disease, but there are still aspects that require further investigation.
A comprehensive understanding of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) system is essential for our understanding of health and disease within the central nervous system (CNS). The system of CSF refers to all components involved in CSF production, movement, and absorption. In recent years, extensive research has resulted in vastly improved understanding of the CSF system in health and disease. Yet, several aspects remain to be fully clarified, notably along the spinal cord as the preponderance of research has focused on the brain. This review briefly summarizes the CSF system and its implications for CNS diseases and highlights the knowledge gaps that require further research.
