Abstract
A large variety of functions have been attributed to the cerebrospinal fluid in the past. However, there are currently only four principal roles attributed to the CSF:
-
1
mechanical protection and support,
-
2
intracerebral transport,
-
3
provision of an internal milieu, and
-
4
a lymphatic role.
