Cerebrospinal Fluid in Neurologic Disorders: Volume 146 (Handbook of Clinical

Description: CSF is an invaluable diagnostic tool in clinical neurological research, and development of new disease biomarkers depends on basic CSF research. While there are books on CSF in clinical context, there is currently a lack in literature focused on a research based perspective. To that end, this volume is split into two parts. The first will provide a brief overview on current use of CSF in clinical routine, the physiology of CSF, and its usefulness and potential as a biomarker. The second part addresses the main purpose of the volume, which is to look at CSF from a research perspective in context with the most important diagnostic entities in neurology. Many neurological diseases are poorly understood in terms of etiology and pathophysiology, and CSF reflects the biochemistry of normal and pathological procedures in the nervous system. The authors provide insight into the current understanding of CSF changes in these various conditions and what it tells us about the nature of neurological diseases. Furthermore, methodological aspects are discussed as well as shortcomings that need to be addressed in the future. Finally, we provide an outlook for potential directions that might be explored to improve all these various aspects of CSF research with the ultimate goal of being incorporated in clinical practice.
