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.
No, the choroid plexus is a structure within the ventricles of the brain that produces cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The cerebral aqueduct is a narrow channel connecting the third and fourth ventricles, and it does not contain the choroid plexus.

The cerebral aqueduct (also known as the aqueduct of Sylvius) is the canal that connects the third and fourth ventricles of the brain. It is a narrow canal located in the midbrain, allowing for the flow of cerebrospinal fluid between these two ventricles.
