New Method for Studying the Coupling Between Cerebrospinal Fluid Flow and Cortical BOLD Signals Academic Background In recent years, the role of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in brain waste clearance has garnered significant attention. Traditionally, CSF was thought to primarily serve as a cushion and provide immune surveillance. However, growing evide...
