Cerebrospinal Fluid in the Brain: Functions & Production from Chapter 11 / Lesson 7 74K The brain is a bumpy, complex structure with holes called ventricles, which are filled with cerebrospinal fluid. Explore the functions and production of cerebrospinal fluid and how this fluid plays an impor...
Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) is the principal known central nervous system mediator of the stress response; however, to date no studies have examined cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) CRF levels in patients with FM. The relationship between CSF CRF level, heart rate variability (HRV), and pain,...

Cerebrospinal fluid has several functions. First, the fluid provides the brain with buoyancy, which allows the organ to support its own weight without collapsing. Without the fluid, the weight of the brain would prevent it from maintaining a constant blood supply to lower sections. The fluid also...
Cerebrospinal Fluid as an Alternative Tool to Blood C-reactive Protein in Laboratory Diagnosis of Bacterial Meningitis in Children: a Comparative Analysis Introduction: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Gram stain and culture is the gold standard in the diagnosis of bacterial meningitis. However, in culture ne...
However, in vivo elevation of soluble Aβ in sporadic AD has so far not been shown. In the present study, we used enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays specific for Aβ42 and Aβ40 to investigate cerebrospinal fluid from sporadic AD at different stages of disease severity, to clarify the roles...

Cerebrospinal fluid apolipoprotein E is reduced in Alzheimer's disease APOLIPOPROTEIN E (ApoE) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). ApoE is synthesized within the brain and has been suggest... Kaj,B Camilla,H Pam - 《Neuroreport》 被引量: 0发表: 1994年 ...
Main Sleep is a state of vulnerable inactivity. Because of the risks that this vulnerability entails, most researchers assume that sleep must confer some essential benefit1,2,3. However, what this is remains a mystery. One suggestion is that sleep clears the brain of metabolites and toxins ...
