<Regina Faubel> investigated how <cilia> organize <cerebrospinal fluid> transport in the <brain>. A 2016 study of the mouse <third ventricle> found coordinated <cilia> modules generating a complex network of local flows.<Cilia-based flow network in the brain ventricles by Regina Faubel and others>[Science353, pp.176–178; Abstract and primary byline]{ref}
The observed flow pattern included a periodically switching component, and related complex patterns occurred in rat and pig <third ventricles>. These results motivated a transport question beyond total flow through a cavity: which paths carry signaling <molecules> to particular parts of its lining? A compartment can exchange fluid overall while still having an organized internal distribution.<Cilia-based flow network in the brain ventricles by Regina Faubel and others>[Abstract; switching flow and comparisons across species]{ref}
