title: Cerebrospinal fluid formation in ventricles and spinal subarachnoid space of the rhesus monkey.
abstract: The authors perfused rhesus monkeys from lateral ventricles to lumbar sac with an artificial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) containing a Blue Dextran 2000 marker. Analysis of marker dilution at steady state showed ventricular CSF formation occurring at a rate of 28.3 plus or minus mu1/min. No significant CSF formation was found in the spinal subarachnoid space.
