Coloured composite 3-D magneticresonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography(CT) scan of a human brain, seen from the front.The ventricles (pink) circulate the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which cushionsthe brain. Two lateral ventricles lie either sideof the mid-line of the brain, one in each cerebralhemisphere. They communicate with the fourthventricle (bottom centre). Beneath the lateralventricles lie the sensory- processing thalami (orange) and the hypothalamus (green, centre), which controls emotion and body temperature, andreleases chemicals that regulate hormone releasefrom the pituitary gland (green, above fourthventricle, which is pink)..
