Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), clear, colourless liquid that fills and surrounds the brain and the spinal cord and provides a mechanical barrier against shock. Formed primarily in the ventricles of the brain, the cerebrospinal fluid supports the brain and pr

The choroid plexus is a network of blood vessels in the innermost part of the brain. It produces cerebrospinal fluid in your brain’s ventricles (fluid-filled spaces). Special cells that line the ventricles also make a smaller amount of cerebrospinal fluid. What Can Cerebrospinal Fluid Tell Your...
the cerebrospinal fluid becomes so thickened by pus that the passages between the ventricles (cavities) of the brain and the spaces in the spinal meninges become blocked, causing fluid to accumulate. The accumulation of fluid in the ventricles may in turn result inhydrocephalus, which causescomaand...

More specifically, the CSF occupies the space between the arachnoid mater (the middle layer of the brain cover, meninges) and the pia mater (the layer of the meninges closest to the brain). It constitutes the content of all intra-cerebral (inside the brain, cerebrum) ventricles, cisterns an...
