      The brain is surrounded by a fluid, known as cerebral spinal fluid (CSF), that cushions it from impacts and helps the brain stay in place. The brain also has a very dense structure with neurons in the brain together with lots of other support cells and blood vessels – so there’s not much wiggle room!
