  1. Cerebral aqueduct

    The cerebral aqueduct (aqueductus mesencephali, mesencephalic duct, sylvian aqueduct or aqueduct of Sylvius) is a conduit for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that connects the third ventricle to the fourth ventricle of the ventricular system of the brain. It is located in the midbrain dorsal to the pons and ventral to the cerebellum. The cerebral aqueduct is surrounded by an enclosing area of gray matter called the periaqueductal gray, or central gray. It was first named after Franciscus Sylvius.

  1. cerebral aqueduct

    The cerebral aqueduct, also known as the aqueduct of Sylvius, is a narrow, tube-like structure located within the brain that connects the third and fourth ventricles. Its primary role is to facilitate the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, which acts to nourish and protect the brain and spinal cord. Any obstruction in the cerebral aqueduct can lead to a condition known as hydrocephalus, characterized by excessive buildup of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain.
