Cerebrospinal Fluid Research is an Open Access, peer-reviewed, online journal that considers manuscripts on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in health and disease. The CSF, its composition, circulation and absorption have vital roles for normal and abnormal brain function. CSF is important for chemical signaling, physical and chemical buffering, neurodevelopment and neurodevelopmental disorders such as hydrocephalus and neural tube defects, brain inflammation, brain injury and repair, normal pressure hydrocephalus and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis. The CSF can be used for the diagnosis of neurological diseases and as a route for drug delivery to the brain. Cerebrospinal Fluid Research aims to provide a dedicated avenue for the dissemination of research into all molecular and physiological aspects of CSF and related disorders.
CSF is a subject area that does not have a specialist platform. To date articles are published in a variety of different journals. This journal will provide the platform, offering quality peer-review of manuscripts on secretory physiology, molecular biology of transporters, peptides and growth factors as they relate to CSF, brain homeostasis and neurological diseases. It will bring together researchers expert in various aspects of the CSF and will promote synthesis and dialogue. The intention is also to publish, as supplements, the proceedings of scientific meetings in relevant subject areas.
