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.

The ventricles are filled with cerebrospinal fluid, which is also produced here. The cerebrospinal fluid is in constant motion, but the movement varies depending on what we are doing.

Brain Drain At the center of the brain are flooded caverns, like great cisterns shrouded in darkness, called ventricles. Cerebrospinal fluid seeps from the ventricle walls and then moves. Under ...

Cerebrospinal fluid normally flows through the ventricles and bathes the brain and spine. If the pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid is too much, it can damage brain tissue and cause disturbances ...

Hydrocephalus is an excess of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain’s ventricles. Surgery is the first-line and most effective treatment. The two primary surgeries are the Ventriculoperitoneal ...

The ventricles – spaces in the brain where CSF is made -- produce too much fluid. Something blocks the normal flow of fluid and causes it to build up. The bloodstream can’t absorb all the fluid.

Billy Joel has excess fluid in his brain -- a neurologist explains what happens when this protective liquid gets out of balance.

Cerebrospinal fluid is a watery liquid that continually circulates through the brain’s ventricles and around the surface of the brain and spinal cord.

Researchers studied the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in zebrafish brain regions located at the entrance to the spinal cord using fluorescently tagged beads. In zebrafish with mutations in genes that ...
