The first objective of this study is to build a 1D model of the dynamics couplings between the blood cerebral vasculature, the cranial CSF, the spinal CSF and the spinal cord. Particular attention is given to the effect of mechanical properties of the CSF network on the cervical (C2-C3) CSF flow. The second objective is to compare the 1D model outputs to MRI Data from healthy and pathological (hydrocephalus) patients.
