Description:
The ventricular system of the mammalian brain consists of the two lateral, a third, and a fourth ventricle that interconnect and are filled with circulating cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (1). CSF streams along the ventricular walls propelled by bundles of motile cilia that protrude from the apical surface of wall-forming ependymal cells (14). Planar cell polarity (PCP), which is created by proteins that are asymmetrically expressed in ependymocytes, controls cilia beating direction (113,166–169). PCP has two components referred to as translational and rotational polarity. Translational polarity...
