fourth ventricle
The fourth ventricle is one of the four connected fluid-filled cavities within the human brain. These cavities, known collectively as the ventricular system, consist of the left and right lateral ventricles, the third ventricle, and the fourth ve ...

A brain is an organ that serves as the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals. It is located in the head, usually close to the sensory organs for senses such as vision. It is the most complex organ in a v ...
. It separates the
cranial nerve motor nuclei (medial) from the sensory nuclei (lateral).
[Nolte, John. The Human Brain 6th ed. p.685. Mosby Inc.] It can also be located by searching laterally from the
medial eminence
In the human brain, the rhomboid fossa is divided into symmetrical halves by a median sulcus which reaches from the upper to the lower angles of the fossa and is deeper below than above. On either side of this sulcus is an elevation, the medial em ...
. It is parallel to the
median sulcus.
