We conclude that changes in serum osmolarity change the CSF volume because of the osmotic gradient between the blood and all of the CSF compartments, and also that the change in CSF pressure is closely associated with changes in CSF volume.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
