A member asked:
How much space is in between the brain and skull?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
U mean EMPTY space?: Normally, none. The 1-2 millimeters between the brain and skull are filled with the three meninges: Dura mater, arachnoid mater and pia mater. This is basic anatomy. Anyone can look it up and learn it the same way med students do in first-year gross anatomy. No special medical expertise is necessary to interpret this information. You can do your own research if you want to know more.
