Published 12 February 2021 Systemic inflammation impairs perivascular CSF distribution, according to our latest discoveries published in the Journal of Neuroinflammation. The exchange of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) seems to be crucial for the clearance of waste products from the brain. Previous research shows that impaired CSF clearance is associated with neurodegenerative diseases. After systemic i
