University of Southern California He subsequently completed his fellowship training in spinal surgery from the Medical College of Wisconsin Preface Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) functions to bathe the brain and spinal cord It is vital for the maintenance of fluid homeostasis within the central nervous system (CNS) The production of CSF by the choroid plexus is tightly regulated providing the necessary nutrients and removing waste that may compromise the normal homeostasis of the CNS Yet the choroid plexus and CSF have been one of the most understudied tissues in neuroscience However, recent work has begun to elucidate how the choroid plexus and CSF regulate development and disease in ways that extend far beyond traditional neurobiology roles As editors, it is our hope to combine new and established work to allow crossdisciplinary discussion from neurosciences (clinical and basic sciences), immunology, and cancer biology to showcase newfound excitement surrounding the choroid plexus and CSF Josh Neman Thomas C Chen xv 174 GLOSSARY Leptomeningeal metastases Refers to the spread of malignant cells through the CSF space These cells originated in primary CNS tumors as well as
