Uberon definition : Part of ventricular system of brain consisting of a narrow channel in the midbrain
connecting the third and fourth ventricles. (Maryann Martone);
Uberon related term : aqueduct; cerebral aqueduct proper; mesencephalic vesicle; aqueduct of Sylvius;
Uberon Homology note : The early development of most vertebrate brains is similar (...). The zebrafish neural
tube follows the same basic differentiation pattern as the mammalian neural tube (reference
1); The brain develops from three embryonic enlargements of the neural tube, which
later differentiate into five regions. A forebrain differentiates into telencephalon
and diencephalon. The midbrain, or mesencephalon, remains undivided. The hindbrain
divides into the metencephalon and myelencephalon. Cavities within the brain enlarge
to form a series of interconnected ventricles (reference 2).[well established][VHOG];
