Visualization of Glymphatic Route on the Rat Cerebral Surface Using Direct Injection of 17O-Labeled Water and Proton MRI

Puntos clave

The technique visualizes CSF inflow pathways in the cerebral cortex as distinct signal changes, indicating a breakthrough.
The inner SAS group demonstrated higher concentrations of 17O-labeled water, showing vertical distribution patterns across the cortical surface.
Using local injection of 17O-labeled water and optimized proton MRI, the study enhances understanding of water dynamics in neurofluid research.
These findings may enhance further investigations into the glymphatic hypothesis and brain fluid dynamics.

Resumen

Motivation: Understanding water dynamics on the cerebral surface is crucial for advancing neurofluid research and exploring the glymphatic hypothesis and the subarachnoid lymphatic-like membrane (SLYM). Goal(s): Detailed visualization of water dynamics on the surface of the brain using a water tracer. Approach: 17O-labeled water was directly injected into the subarachnoid space (SAS) of the rat cerebrum to increase local concentration for detailed observation of water dynamics. Results: The inner SAS group showed a higher concentration of 17O-labeled water, with vertical distribution patterns observed on the cortical surface, suggesting potential pathways for CSF flow into brain parenchyma. Impact: Using the technique of local subarachnoid injection of 17O-labeled water and an optimiszd proton MRI method, we were the first to visualize CSF inflow pathways in the cerebral cortex as distinct signal changes.
