Welcome to the Cerebrospinal Fluid Laboratory wiki page.
Contents
Overview
The Cerebrospinal Fluid Laboratory is dedicated to investigation of the underlying biomechanical and hydrodynamic mechanisms responsible for pathologies of the cerebrospinal and cerebrovascular systems.
Purpose
- foster collaboration and discussion between cerebrospinal fluid and cerebrovascular researchers
- provide in vivo and in vitro experimental data to computational researchers
- increase interest in cerebrospinal fluid research
Projects
Active
- Understanding the coupling of cranial blood flow and the cerebrospinal fluid system: an in vivo and in silico study
- What is the relative distribution of spinal subarachnoid space volumetric compliance in healthy subjects?
- Does CPAP influence cranial blood flow in healthy volunteers?
- Are changes in intracranial pressure detectable by measurement of the cerebrospinal fluid velocity wave speed in the spinal canal?
- in vitro and in silico modeling of CSF wave transmission in the spinal subarachnoid space
- syringomyelia and Chiari malformation
- design and development of a novel aortic graft
