Here is a complete visual breakdown of the brainstem (lateral view) with structures above the midbrain, plus the ventricular system in both lateral and frontal views.

Brainstem - Lateral (Sagittal) View with Structures Above Midbrain

This diagram from Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain (5th Ed.) shows the midsagittal cut of the human brain, with the brainstem parts and all structures clearly labeled:

Midsagittal view of human brain showing brainstem, diencephalon, midbrain, pons, medulla, and ventricles

Key structures from top to bottom (medial/lateral view):

Structure	Location	What's Inside/Associated
Telencephalon (Cerebral cortex)	Topmost	Lateral ventricles
Diencephalon (Thalamus + Hypothalamus)	Above midbrain	3rd ventricle
Midbrain (Mesencephalon)	Upper brainstem	Cerebral aqueduct
Pons	Middle brainstem	Upper 4th ventricle
Medulla oblongata	Lower brainstem	Lower 4th ventricle
Cerebellum	Posterior	4th ventricle (posterior wall)

Brainstem Lateral View - Detailed (Colored)

Lateral sagittal brainstem view showing midbrain (green), pons (blue), and medulla oblongata with cerebellum

Midbrain (green) - most superior brainstem part; sits just below the diencephalon/thalamus
Pons (blue) - bulging anterior structure; relay between cerebrum and cerebellum
Medulla oblongata - most inferior part; merges with spinal cord

Ventricular System - Lateral View

This diagram from TeachMeAnatomy shows all four ventricles in a lateral (sagittal) projection:

Lateral view of the brain ventricular system showing lateral ventricle (red), 3rd ventricle (blue), cerebral aqueduct, and 4th ventricle (green) with foramen of Monro labeled

CSF Flow pathway (lateral view): Lateral ventricles → Foramen of Monro → 3rd ventricle → Cerebral aqueduct (through midbrain) → 4th ventricle → Subarachnoid space

Ventricular System - 3D Frontal/Lateral Oblique View

3D oblique view of the full ventricular system showing paired lateral ventricles (1 & 2), third ventricle, fourth ventricle, and central canal of spinal cord

Summary Table - Ventricular System & Corresponding Brain Structures

(From: Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain, 5th Ed., Table 7.3)

Ventricle	Corresponding Brain Structure
Lateral ventricles (x2)	Cerebral cortex, basal telencephalon
3rd ventricle	Thalamus, Hypothalamus (diencephalon)
Cerebral aqueduct	Tectum, Midbrain tegmentum
4th ventricle	Cerebellum, Pons, Medulla

Key clinical point: The cerebral aqueduct (of Sylvius) passing through the midbrain is the narrowest point in the entire ventricular system - obstruction here causes non-communicating (obstructive) hydrocephalus, which is why midbrain tumors or tectal lesions can rapidly cause raised intracranial pressure.
