There are four cerebral ventricles: the paired lateral ventricles, and the midline third and fourth ventricles. The two lateral ventricles, located within the cerebrum, are relatively large and C-shaped, roughly wrapping around the dorsal aspects of the basal ganglia. It is in the lateral ventricles of the embryo that the successive generation of neurons gives rise to the 6-layered structure of the neocortex, constructed from the inside out during development. Each lateral ventricle extends into the frontal, occipital and temporal lobes via the frontal (anterior), occipital (posterior), and temporal (inferior) horns, respectively. The "body" and "atrium" are situated between the anterior/anterior horn and posterior horns.
The lateral ventricles both communicate via the interventricular foramina with the third ventricle, found centrally within the diencephalon. The third ventricle communicates via the cerebral aqueduct, located within the midbrain, with the fourth ventricle, found within the hindbrain. The three foramina to the subarachnoid space are found here, permitting cerebrospinal fluid produced in the ventricles to surround the brainstem, cerebellum, and cerebral cortex. The fourth ventricle is also continuous with the central canal, allowing CSF to bathe the inside surface of the spinal cord as well.
The ventricles are the fluid-filled cavities of the brain.
The third and fourth ventricles are joined.
The interconnected spaces that produce and serve as a reservoir for cerebrospinal fluid in the brain are called ventricles. There are four ventricles in the brain - two lateral ventricles, a third ventricle, and a fourth ventricle. These ventricles are responsible for the production, circulation, and drainage of cerebrospinal fluid.
The cavities of the brain are called ventricles. These ventricles contain Cerebro Spinal Fluid to help aid in the filtration of the blood.
Two lateral ventricles, third ventricles and the forth ventricles produce the cerebrospinal fluid.
The third and fourth ventricles are connected by the Cerebral aqueduct.

Ventricul- is the medical terminology combining form meaning ventricles. It applies to both brain and heart ventricles.
The ventricles are fluid filled cavities of the brain.
