Ultra-long-TE arterial spin labeling reveals rapid and brain-wide blood-to-CSF water transport in humans
The study of brain clearance mechanisms is an active area of research. While we know that the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) plays a central role in one of the main existing clearance pathways, the exact processes for the secretion of CSF and the removal of waste products from tissue are under debate.

The study of brain clearance mechanisms is an active area of research.
