 | | The dura mater of the cord is not adherent to the bones of the spinal canal, which have an independent periosteum. | | | The pia mater of the cord is less vascular in structure, but thicker and denser, than the pia mater of the brain, with which it is continuous. | | | The membranes, which envelop the spinal cord, are three in number. |

| | Tough Mother |
| | As nerves exit the spine, they are accompanied by extensions of the dura mater - the "dural sleeves." Abnormal tension along the dura mater can have widespread consequences, due to the potential effect on the spinal nerves and the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. | | | In light of their new findings, the investigators reason that this ligament rigidity can create adverse tension in the dura mater, and suggest that this dural tension can lead to neck pain, headache, weakness in the arms, memory loss and disturbances in concentration. | | | In 1998, a team of anatomists at Anglo-European College of Chiropractic reported another important connection between the dura mater and the neck. |

| | Deep Tissue Massage Techniques Dura Mater Massage Magazine Article |
| | Famous for their amazing ability to precisely define complex anatomical structures, the early Greeks hit the nail on its proverbial head when they labeled dura mater, the "tough mother." Centuries later, massage therapists have come to understand the important role dura mater plays in protecting the brain and spinal cord. | | | Connective tissues called the filum durae spinalis enclose the end of the spinal cord and attach it to the deep dorsal sacroccygeal ligament. | | | Since the nervous system directs all the body's functioning, its immediate condition is expressed by the changing of frequency, intensity and quality from the cerebral hemisphere through the spinal cord to the rest of the body. |

| | While the U.S. distribution of processed human dura mater was not restricted, FDA did, however, feel that further evaluation of these issues and alternative practices was appropriate. | | | Until that time processed human dura mater will remain a medical device, and consistent with other medical products, FDA believes that all guidance documents should be updated as our scientific understanding of specific issues evolves. | | | In March of 1997, the World Health Organization recommended that processed human dura mater grafts no longer be used, especially in neurosurgery, unless no alternative was available. |

| | The pia mater is the meningeal envelope that firmly adheres to the surface of the brain and spinal cord. | | | The meninges, (singular meninx), are three membranous envelopes—the pia mater, the arachnoid, and the dura mater—that surround the brain and spinal cord. | | | In a few places, however, the subdural space is absent, and the arachnoid is intimately fused with the dura mater. |

| | While the dura mater, independent of cranial base forces, appeared critical in determining sutural fate, the precise mechanisms mediating the dura mater-suture interaction remained unknown. | | | By in situ hybridization and immunolocalization techniques, we identified a number of osteogenic factors in the dura mater underlying the fusing PF suture. | | | We were surprised by these data because they suggested that the dura mater played an essential role in guiding cranial suture fate. |
