Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fornix is a tract of white matter that connects the hippocampus with other parts of the limbic system, including the hypothalamus and mammillary bodies. The amygdaloid body and cingulate gyrus are also part of the limbic system but do not connect the hippocampus and hypothalamus directly. The hippocampus and mammillary bodies are connected by another tract called the mammillothalamic tract.
