  2. Cerebrospinal fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebrospinal_fluid

    Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, colorless transcellular body fluid found within the meningeal tissue that surrounds the vertebrate brain and spinal cord, and in the ventricles of the brain. CSF is mostly produced by specialized ependymal cells in the choroid plexuses of the ventricles of the brain, and absorbed in the arachnoid ...

  3. Glymphatic system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glymphatic_system

    The pathway consists of a para-arterial influx mechanism for CSF driven primarily by arterial pulsation, [2] which "massages" the low-pressure CSF into the denser brain parenchyma, and the CSF flow is regulated during sleep by changes in parenchyma resistance due to expansion and contraction of the extracellular space.

  4. Ventricular system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_system

    The ventricles are filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) which bathes and cushions the brain and spinal cord within their bony confines. CSF is produced by modified ependymal cells of the choroid plexus found in all components of the ventricular system except for the cerebral aqueduct and the posterior and anterior horns of the lateral ventricles .

  5. Cerebrospinal fluid flow MRI - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebrospinal_Fluid_Flow_MRI

    CSF is a clear fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. [3] The rate of CSF formation in humans is about 0.3–0.4 ml per minute and the total CSF volume is 90–150 ml in adults.

  6. Dural venous sinuses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dural_venous_sinuses

    The dural venous sinuses (also called dural sinuses, cerebral sinuses, or cranial sinuses) are venous sinuses (channels) found between the periosteal and meningeal layers of dura mater in the brain. [1] [2] They receive blood from the cerebral veins, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the subarachnoid space via arachnoid granulations.

  7. Development of the cerebral cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_the...

    Bmp-7 can be detected in the ventricular zone and is secreted into cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The CSF is an area to promote neurogenesis and it is believed that the synergy between Bmp-7 and other regulators promote cell division along with homeostasis. [12] Other bone morphogenetic proteins are also known to impact corticogenesis in the mouse ...

  8. Choroid plexus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choroid_plexus

    The blood–cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB) is a fluid–brain barrier that is composed of a pair of membranes that separate blood from CSF at the capillary level and CSF from brain tissue. [14] The blood–CSF boundary at the choroid plexus is a membrane composed of epithelial cells and tight junctions that link them. [14] There is a CSF ...

  9. Interventricular foramina (neuroanatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interventricular_foramina...

    In the brain, the interventricular foramina (foramina of Monro) are channels that connect the paired lateral ventricles with the third ventricle at the midline of the brain. As channels, they allow cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) produced in the lateral ventricles to reach the third ventricle and then the rest of the brain's ventricular system.
