The fornix
|
primarily efferent axons but also afferent axons between the hippocampus and the mammilary bodies
-separates the lateral and 3rd ventricle on the dorsal surface of the thalamus |
|
|
The amygdala with the hypothalamus contributes to
|
autonomic components of emotional behavior
i.e. anger, fear and helps to associate memories with emotional reactions |
