Only a couple of millimetres, and this space is filled with a 3-layered membrane known as the MENINGES. It helps to cushion and protect the brain from vibration and knocks, enveloping it in a protective cushion to keep the delicate brain tissue safe. The illness Meningitis occurs when one or more of the meninges become inflamed or infected, and can be extremely serious if it isn't treated in time- it's a condition normally suffered by young people, although in rare cases, older people in their 50s and early 60s have been known to develop it too
