Spinal Nerves
Vertebral foramen are the spaces between adjacent vertebrae where the spinal nerves exit the spinal canal.
I believe you actually mean "neural foramina". That is two words. It is also known as intervertebral foramina.

Intervertebral foramina
Intervertebral foramina. The left an right pedicles have notches on their inferior and superior surfaces that create openings, the intervertebral foramina, for spinal nerves to leave the spinal cord between adjacent vertebra. -human a&p lab manual, E.

The spinal nerves exit from the vertebral column through openings between adjacent vertebrae. These openings, called intervertebral foramina, are located just in front of the facet joints. They exit from what are called intervertebral foramina (foramen means opening).
provide passageways for spinal nerves that proceed between joining vertebrae and connect to the spinal cord.
vertebrae Inter means "between", vertebral obviously means vertebrae as mentioned above, and foramina is plural for foramen, which is a hole. Intervertebral foramina are formed in the space between two vertebrae. When two or more vertebral bones are stacked, the intervertebral foramina would be inferior to the pedicles of the superior vertebrae and superior to the pedicles of the inferior vertebrae. It will create a hole that goes between the two vertebrae horizontally. The spinal cord goes through the vertebral foramen vertically, and the nerve roots slip out horizontally through the intervertebral foramina.
The pedicles, laminae and the intervertebral foramina form the vertebral arch.
