Lateral ventricles project branches, or horns (cornua), into the frontal, occipital, and temporal lobes of the brain. Cerebrospinal fluid, used to support the brain and buffer it from physical shock, is created in and transmitted to the brain's lobes by means of these
lateral ventricles. In addition to the two lateral ventricles, a third ventricle helps form cerebrospinal fluid and carries it to the structures of the midbrain, and a fourth ventricle supplies the cerebellum and the subarachnoid space of the spinal cord. Research Lateral Ventricles
