We have been taught for over a century that cerebrospinal fluid is made in the ventricles, and flows in a specific manner. But, is it made in the ventricles and does it even flow?
Super interesting! As a parent of a 26 yo , diagnosed with a choroid plexus papilloma at age 6 months and later a third ventricular cyst, this topic is super important to me. She has a multi shunt system, a collapsed left vent. And other brain abnormalities/consequences , I will happily wait for installment two!
In his book "Longevity" Dr. Peter Attia asserts that we are moving from Medicine 2.0 (current) to Medicine 3.0 where study goes in much greater depth. At 76 I most likely won't see the ultimate outcome, but I suspect in another 30 years or so our current medical treatment will be regarded the same way we now regard the leeches for bloodletting. My dusty BA in mathematics leaves me with a limited grasp of biochemistry, but it's really interesting to see physics becoming equally important. Looking forward to part 2!
Deeply fascinating. (Or maybe fasciculating!) I've been helping the conventional notion by illustrating it in my courseware. If this is wrong, the animation needs to change.
Brilliant. What an expansive mind you have. Your patients are extremely fortunate.
too kind

We have discussed “fluid mechanics “ and “plumbing issues” with the neurosurgeon(s) ad nauseum. She is a complicated case.
