The lateral ventricles are part of the ventricular system of the brain . Classified as part of the telencephalon , they are the largest of the ventricles. The lateral ventricles connect to the central third ventricle through the interventricular foramina of Monro .
Each lateral ventricle has three horns. The anterior or frontal horn extends into the frontal lobe , the posterior or occipital horn into the occipital lobe , and the inferior or temporal horn into the temporal lobe .
