Brief summary

The objective of this study is to determine the effects of cerebrospinal fluid sampling rate on biomarker levels of young, healthy volunteers.

Interventions

OTHERSampling Rate

Both cohorts will have a lumbar catheter placed and CSF samples will be obtained. The only difference between the two arms will be the sampling rate of CSF. One arm will have a high sampling rate and the other will have a low sampling rate.
