Mature multiciliated ependymal cells line the cerebral ventricles where they form a partial barrier between the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and brain parenchyma and regulate local CSF microcirculation through coordinated ciliary beating. Although the ependyma is a highly specialized brain interface with barrier, trophic, and perhaps even regenerative capacity, it remains a misfit in the canon of glial neurobiology. We provide an update to seminal reviews in the field by conducting a scoping review of the post-2010 mature multiciliated ependymal cell literature. We delineate how recent findings have either called into question or substantiated classical views of the ependymal cell. Beyond this synthesis, we document the basic methodologies and study characteristics used to describe multiciliated ependymal cells since 1980. Our review serves as a comprehensive resource for future investigations of mature multiciliated ependymal cells. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
