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
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.
