The apical surface of ependymal cells in the cornu anterius of the lateral ventricle of the brain was studied in man. The surface of ependymal cells displays varied differentiation, the cells have microvilli, spherical processes, and cilia. ⋯ Ependymal areas with a large number of cilia were recorded along with areas without cilia and so-called transitory ependymal areas with a small number of cilia. There are no sharp borderlines between the individual areas.
