The Table describes the output parameters under four input conditions: increased resistance to CSF absorption, increased resistance to ventricular CSF flow, increased resistance to bulk flow of ISF, and breakdown of the BBB. ROUT: resistance to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) outflow; RVEN: resistance to CSF flow in the ventricular system; RBF: resistance to bulk flow of cerebral interstitial fluid; RBBB: resistance to flow of fluid across the blood–brain barrier; CBF: cerebral blood flow
