Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When this fluid volume is reduced, there is less fluid available to cushion the brain inside the skull. This loss of CSF causes headache and other neurological signs and symptoms and may result in a range of complications. With upright posture, the loss of CSF volume has a greater effect on the brain.

Detailed explanation-2: -Disruption of normal CSF circulation and turnover is believed to contribute to the development of many diseases, including neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, ischemic and traumatic brain injury, and neuroinflammatory conditions such as multiple sclerosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, known collectively as the meninges, may develop in response to a number of causes, most prominently bacteria and viruses, but also fungi, parasites, radiation, or neoplasm.

Detailed explanation-4: -Also called CSF. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF, shown in blue) is made by tissue that lines the ventricles (hollow spaces) in the brain. It flows in and around the brain and spinal cord to help cushion them from injury and provide nutrients.
