Foramen Monro
The Foramen Monro, also known as the interventricular foramen, is a small opening in the brain that connects the lateral ventricles to the third ventricle. It allows the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which is essential for cushioning the brain and maintaining its chemical environment.
Located near the center of the brain, the Foramen Monro plays a crucial role in the brain's ventricular system, which includes the lateral ventricles, third ventricle, and fourth ventricle. Proper functioning of this foramen is vital for normal CSF circulation and overall brain health.
