title: [The volume of the cerebral ventricles in vertebrates].
abstract: The relative volume of the brain ventricles in Vertebrates decreases from fishes to mammals and from embryos to adults. The comparison of Chondrichthyans and Teleosteans shows that the high encephalization of the former is not only due to the difference between the relative volume of the ventricular spaces.
