Ventricles of brain. Coloured composite 3-D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a brain in profile,showing the ventricles (red). The front of the brain is at left. Cushioning cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulates in the ventricles and runs down the brainstem (bottom right) to the spinal cord. The curved lateral ventricles (one seen) lie on either side of the brain,one in each cerebral hemisphere. They communicate with the small third ventricle (lower centre),which lies between and below them. This leads down to the fourth ventricle (lower right) via a channel,the cerebral aqueduct. One of the sensory-processing thalami (green) is also seen | |
