Lateral Ventricle (MRI)
There are several areas in the lateral ventricle:
the frontal horn, which is bounded by the caudate nucleus, Corpus callosum and septum pellucidum
the body of the lateral ventricle is bounded by the caudate nucleus / thalamus, corpus callosum and fornix
the atrium: this is the focal point of the occipital and temporal horns
the occipital horn
the temporal horn
The two lateral ventricles (right, left) communicate with each other via the third ventricle.
