Hydraulic resistance of periarterial spaces in the brain
Abstract Background Periarterial spaces (PASs) are annular channels that surround arteries in the brain and contain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF): a flow of CSF in these channels is thought to be an important part of the brain’s system for clearing metabolic wastes. In vivo observations reveal that they...
