The subpial space is located beneath the pia mater, the closest layer of the meninges to the brain and spinal cord. The subarachnoid space is located between the arachnoid mater and pia mater, and contains cerebrospinal fluid. The epiarachnoid space is not a recognized anatomical space. The subdural space is located between the dura mater and arachnoid mater.
