Main research findings
New theories suggest that molecules, such as toxic proteins, are transported out of the brain by the flow of cerebrospinal fluids. This has been of great interest as certain toxic proteins are thought to be related to diseases such as Alzheimer's and dementia. This thesis studies the flow of cerebrospinal fluid by numerical simulation on 3D models of the brain.
