Figure 3

Magnetic resonance imaging of hydrocephalic rat brain. T2-weighted magnetic resonance images showing coronal slices through rat brains at the level of the frontal horns of the lateral ventricles, anterior to the third ventricle. Prior to kaolin injection (upper panel) the ventricles are barely visible (arrow). One week after kaolin injection (middle panel) there is noticeable enlargement of the lateral and third ventricles, and 3 weeks after kaolin injection (lower panel) there is marked enlargement of the ventricles as well as the subarachnoid space. Edema is evident in the external capsule (arrow).
