Choroid plexus of the ventricles of the brain (Literature review)
The vascular plexus is one of the least studied aspects of the brain. In recent years, the problem of functioning of the vascular plexuses of the brain has become particularly relevant due to a wide range of regulatory activities of the cerebrospinal fluid (sleep, wakefulness, inhibition, arousal, circadian rhythms, skeletal muscle tone, etc.), which continues to be replenished with new facts. Not a single monograph on the structural organization of the vascular plexus has been published in Russian since 1962, and the available domestic and foreign publications are scattered through numerous and sometimes hard-to-access scientific journals. Therefore, the presentation of modern data on the histophysiology of the vascular plexus and the hematopoietic barrier in humans is of interest not only for morphologists and physiologists, but also for clinicians, since the lack of proper knowledge about the morphofunctional organization of the vascular plexus leads to insufficient understanding of the mechanisms of functioning of GLB in normal and pathological conditions
