Abstract
Arachnoid villi and granulations are thought to represent the primary sites where cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is absorbed. However, these structures do not appear to exist in the fetus but begin to develop around the time of birth and increase in number with age. With the use of a constant pressure-perfusion system in 2- to 6-day-old lambs, we observed that global CSF transport (0.012 +/- 0.003 ml x min(-1) x cmH(2)O(-1)) and CSF outflow resistance (96.5 +/- 17.8 cmH(2)O x ml(-1) x min) were very similar to comparable measures in adult animals despite the relative paucity of arachnoid villi at this stage of development. In the neonate, the recovery patterns of a radioactive protein CSF tracer in various lymph nodes and tissues indicated that CSF transport occurred through multiple lymphatic pathways. An especially important route was transport through the cribriform plate into extracranial lymphatics located in the nasal submucosa. To investigate the importance of the cribriform route in cranial CSF clearance, the cranial CSF compartment was isolated surgically from its spinal counterpart. When the cribriform plate was sealed extracranially under these conditions, CSF transport was impaired significantly. These data demonstrate an essential function for lymphatics in neonatal CSF transport and imply that arachnoid projections may play a limited role earlier in development.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
