The paper investigates how the embryonic brain wall thickens inward through inner-surface contractility, showing that actomyosin-mediated contraction is essential for this process.

The paper measures intraventricular CSF pressure in fetal mice in utero and shows it is influenced by external factors.

The paper shows that the embryonic brain and scalp tissues mechanically interact, with the scalp recoiling to confine and fold the brain during development.
