Deconstructing the functional neuroanatomy of the choroid plexus: an ontogenetic perspective for studying neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders

Abstract: The choroid plexus (CP) is a delicate and highly vascularized structure in the brain comprised of a dense network of fenestrated capillary loops that help in the synthesis, secretion and circulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This unique neuroanatomical structure is comprised of arachnoid villi stemming from frond-like surface projections—that protrude into the lumen of the four cerebral ventricles—providing a key source of nutrients to the brain parenchyma in addition to serving as a ‘sink’ for central ner… Show more

“…Its single-layer epithelial basement membrane surrounds a delicate network of fenestrated capillaries and connective tissue composed of fibroblasts and immune cells. 3 Producing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), forming the blood-CSF barrier and responsible for peripheral-central immune surveillance, [3][4][5] CP is among the least studied structures of the central nervous system despite its clinical importance. CP enlargement has been widely reported in patients with neurodegenerative 6 and neuroinflammatory diseases, 7 but few studies have focused on its involvement in WMH, which is promoted by inflammation and is a common precursor of dementia.…”

“…The choroid plexus (CP) is a highly vascularized structure in the brain which helps with synthesis, secretion, and circulation of CSF. The structural and functional implications of the CP in brain diseases have been neglected for many years; however, in recent years the CP has gained attention as a neuroanatomical structure directly linked to neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders [50]. Since SRPK3 is highly expressed in the CP epithelium, it will be…”
