Solution

failed
failed

The answer is the fourth one: septum pellucidum.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Corpus callosum: This is a large bundle of nerve fibers that connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres, allowing communication between them. It is not a thin plate separating the lateral ventricles.

  2. Fornix: This is a C-shaped bundle of nerve fibers in the brain that acts as a major output tract of the hippocampus. It is not involved in separating the lateral ventricles.

  3. Cerebral aqueduct: This is a narrow channel that connects the third and fourth ventricles in the brain, allowing cerebrospinal fluid to flow between them. It does not separate the lateral ventricles.

  4. Septum pellucidum: This is a thin, transparent membrane located at the midline of the brain, separating the anterior horns of the left and right lateral ventricles. It is the correct answer.

  5. Falx cerebri: This is a sickle-shaped fold of dura mater that descends vertically in the longitudinal fissure between the cerebral hemispheres. It does not separate the lateral ventricles.

In summary, the septum pellucidum is the thin plate that separates the lateral ventricles.
