Here, we characterize small and large CSF solute distribution patterns along the intracranial and surface meninges in neonatal rodents and compare our findings to a rodent model of intraventricular hemorrhage-posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus. We also examine CSF interactions with the tela choroidea and its pial invaginations into the choroid plexuses of the lateral, third, and fourth ventricles.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>\n                <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>1.9-nm gold nanoparticles, 15-nm gold nanoparticles, or 3 kDa Red Dextran Tetramethylrhodamine constituted in aCSF were infused into the right lateral ventricle of P7 rats to track CSF circulation. 10 minutes post-1.9-nm gold nanoparticle and Red Dextran Tetramethylrhodamine injection and 4 hours post-15-nm gold nanoparticle injection, animals were sacrificed and brains harvested for histologic analysis to identify CSF tracer localization in the cranial and spine meninges and choroid plexus. Spinal dura and leptomeninges (arachnoid and pia) wholemounts were also performed.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>\n                <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>There was significantly less CSF tracer distribution in the dura compared to the arachnoid and pia maters in neonatal rodents. Both small and large CSF tracers were transported intracranially to the arachnoid and pia mater of the perimesencephalic cisterns and tela choroidea, but not the dura mater of the falx cerebri. CSF tracers followed a similar distribution pattern in the spinal meninges. In the choroid plexus, there was large CSF tracer distribution in the apical surface of epithelial cells, and small CSF tracer along the basolateral surface. There were no significant differences in tracer intensity in the intracranial meninges of control vs. intraventricular hemorrhage-posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH) rodents, indicating preserved meningeal transport in the setting of PHH.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>\n                <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Differential CSF tracer handling by the leptomeninges suggests that there are distinct roles for CSF handling between the arachnoid-pia and dura maters in the developing brain.
