The cerebrospinal fluid is contained within, and surrounds, the brain and spinal cord (Fig. 1). Thus, the internal fluid is contained within the ventricles —a set of intercommunicating cavities—while the external fluid occupies the subarachnoid spaces, i.e., the spaces on the surface of ...
Cerebrospinal fluid is made up of water, sugars, proteins, lipids, and electrolytes. It has a lot of the same components as plasma, which is the liquid part of your blood. But cerebrospinal fluid contains much lower amounts of protein thanplasmadoes. Where Is Cerebrospinal Fluid Produced? Th...
Prof. Fiona Doetsch's research team at the Biozentrum, University of Basel, has discovered that the choroid plexus, a largely ignored structure in the brain that produces the cerebrospinal fluid, is an important regulator of adult neural stem cells. The study recently published inCell Stem Cellals...

In the routine study of cases in the syphilis department of the Johns Hopkins Hospital, lumbar puncture is regarded as especially indicated in three groups of patients: (1) those presenting on admission evidence suggestive of or permitting a diagnosis of neurosyphilis; (2) all other patients ...

Of the problems connected with the cerebrospinal fluid, some of which have been discussed recently in these columns,1 that of the paths of absorption of the fluid has been the subject of much interest. Key and Retzius, Quincke and others showed the continuity of the cranial and spinal ...
Background: Amyloid 40 (A40) is the most abundant A peptide in the brain. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) level of A40 might therefore be considered to most closely reflect the total A load in the brain. Both in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and in normal aging the A load in the brain has...

The diagnosis is based on the character of the convulsion, its frequency, length of the seizure, results of lumbar puncture and EEG. These convulsions have a good prognosis. Therapy consists in medical disruption of the convulsion and appropriate treatment of the fever.P Emami...
