brain fluid
Cranial cushioning substance
Brain fluid is an informal term for cerebrospinal fluid—the clear liquid that surrounds and cushions the brain and spinal cord.
The term appears in casual medical discussions or when avoiding technical jargon: The doctor said there was too much brain fluid putting pressure on his skull.
