Figure 3From: Changes in the cerebrospinal fluid circulatory system of the developing rat: quantitative volumetric analysis and effect on blood-CSF permeability interpretation Caudo-rostral profiles of brain tissue volume and CSF space in the developing rat brain. Upper panel: 19-day-old embryo (E19), middle panel: 2-day-old rat (P2), lower panel: 9-day old rat (P9). Graphs show typical profiles combined from at least 3 animals. Positions of the cerebellum (Cb) and olfactory bulb (Ob) are indicated. Cranial cavity, brain tissue and CSF space profiles are represented in blue, red and green, respectively. Note scale difference between stages. Volumes corresponding to the three spaces are reported in the apposed tables as means ± SD, n = 4 (E19, P9), and n = 5 (P2).Back to article page
