Bathing the brain.

چکیده

The brain and spinal cord are surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid, which provides a mechanically stable environment for these delicate structures against the forces of gravity and sudden acceleration and deceleration. Neurons and glia comprising the parenchyma of the brain are enveloped in their microenvironment by interstitial fluid. Interstitial fluid has long been considered to be unaffected by the production and flow of cerebrospinal fluid outside the brain parenchyma. However, two recent papers by Iliff et al. demonstrate that cerebrospinal fluid enters the deep substance of the brain, mixes with the interstitial fluid surrounding neurons and glia, and plays an important role in the exchange and clearance of molecules in the interstitial space of the central nervous system.

Preparation of Slices

homogenates. Some of the limitations of these preparations are: 1) lack of certain inputs and outputs normally existing in the intact brain; 2) certain portions of the sliced tissue, especially the top and bottom surfaces of the slice, are damaged by the slicing action itself; 3) the life span of a brain slice is limited and the tissue gets "older" at a much faster rate than the whole animal; 4...
