Randomized trial shows bridging veins govern cerebrospinal fluid drainage in mice, suggesting a new understanding of CSF pathways.

The aim is to understand how cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is drained into the dura mater via specialized arachnoid structures in mice.
In vivo CSF tracer infusion was performed in mice.
Ultrastructural analysis of meningeal lymphatics and arachnoid structures was conducted.
The effect of macrophage depletion on CSF movement was assessed.
Bridging vein-associated arachnoid cuff exit (ACE) domains facilitate CSF movement into the dura.
Increased ACE structures in the basal meninges support preferential CSF drainage to basal lymphatics.
Macrophage depletion prevents CSF tracer movement, causing retention in the subarachnoid space.

Yan et al. (2026) studied this question.
