LeucadiaCerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Technology

SHARE

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) clears toxic metabolites from intercellular spaces in the brain, much as the lymphatic system does in the rest of the body.  The first regions of the brain to be impacted by Alzheimer`s disease are cleared by CSF that drains across a porous bone called the cribriform plate.  Aging and life events can occlude the cribriform plate and reduce the CSF-mediated clearance of toxic metabolites from those regions of the brain, thereby causing plaques and tangles formation.
