Slide 4: CSF cell and molecular delivery system: 2 step process
CSF cell and molecular delivery system: 2 step process 2 1 (1) CSF enters the periarterial spaces driven by arterial pulsation (2) CSF moves from the periarterial compartment into the ISF space facilitated by aquaporin 4 (AQP4) water channels on astroglia end-feet, a process enabling CSF-ISF mixing
