Cerebrospinal Fluid Pulsations and Aging Effects in Mathematical Models of Hydrocephalus

In this Thesis we develop mathematical models to analyze two proposed causative mechanisms for the ventricular expansion observed in hydrocephalus: cerebrospinal fluid pulsations and small transmantle pressure gradients. To begin, we describe a single compartment model and show that such simple one...
