The cerebral aqueduct is the narrow conduit, between the third and the fourth ventricles in the midbrain, that conveys the cerebrospinal fluid and thereby prevents its potentially deadly buildup in the brain. Also called the aqueduct of Sylvius.

The cerebral aqueduct is a narrow channel in the brain that connects the third and fourth ventricles. Its main function is to allow cerebrospinal fluid to flow from the third ventricle to the fourth ventricle, helping to maintain proper fluid balance in the brain.
