Histological studies have for decades documented that each of the classical meningeal membranes contains multiple fibroblast layers with distinct cellular morphology. Particularly, the sublayers of the arachnoid membranes have received attention due to their anatomical complexity. Early studies found that tracers injected into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) do not distribute freely but are restricted by the innermost sublayer of the arachnoid membrane.

For centuries, the meninges have been described as three membranes: the inner pia, middle arachnoid and outer dura. It was therefore sensational when in early 2023 Science magazine published a report of a previously unrecognized - 4th - meningeal membrane located between the pia and arachnoid. Multiple features were claimed for this new membrane: a single cell layer marked by the transcription factor Prox1 that formed a barrier to low molecular weight substances and separated the subarachnoid space (SAS) into two fluid-filled compartments, not one as previously described.
