Uberon Homology note : In fishes, the meninges consist of a single membrane, the primitive meninx, wrapped
around the brain and spinal cord. With the adoption of terrestrial life, the meninges
doubled. In amphibians, reptiles, and birds, the meninges include a thick outer dura
mater derived from mesoderm and a thin inner secondary meninx. (...) In mammals, the
dura mater persists, but division of the secondary meninx yields both the arachnoid
and the pia mater from ectomesoderm.[well established][VHOG];
