Abstract:We hypothesize that the composition of the CSF provides specific information on damage sustained by the hydrocephalus-harboring brain and on its autoregulatory responses to the intracranial pressure (ICP) exerted on the parenchyma. The data analyzed to form this hypothesis was generated in a previous study by comparative proteomics of CSF collected from the brain of healthy and Mpdz knockout (KO) mice 1 . These mice phenocopy the severe hydrocephalus linked to human loss-offunction mutants of the same gene 2, … Show more
