Abstract
WE have shown in earlier experiments that in chick embryos the spread of cerebrospinal fluid from the neural canal to the periaxial spaces is coincident with the development of the choroid plexuses1, and that in rabbit, rat and guinea pig embryos, extracerebral spread of cerebrospinal fluid can be induced when a hypertonic saline solution is injected into the blood stream only after the choroid plexuses are differentiated2.
