Labyrinthic recesses projecting to the subependymal tissue have been observed in the ependyma of the III ventricle in close relation to the neurons of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus in the turtle Mauremys caspica. There seems to be evidence of a direct contact between the paraventricular nucleus neurons and the cerebrospinal fluid whose physiological significance is discussed in the present work.
