General Information
Term cerebrospinal fluid circulation ID (Ontology) GO:0090660 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The neurological system process driven by motile cilia on ependymal cells of the brain by which cerebrospinal fluid circulates from the sites of secretion to the sites of absorption. In ventricular cavities, the flow is unidirectional and rostrocaudal, in subarachnoid spaces, the flow is multi-directional.[ PubMed:22100360 PubMed:24229449 ]
Also Known As "cerebrospinal fluid flow" ; "CSF circulation" ; "CSF flow"
