First paragraph (this article has no abstract)

Over the past decade, studies of a number of CSF conditions, in particular the H-Tx rat and curly tail mouse, have demonstrated a critical role for CSF in the development of the cerebral cortex and, more specifically, in the developmental defect associated with fetal-onset hydrocephalus and neural tube defects. This paper is an attempt to present a CSF hypothesis for CNS and brain development.
