1 Limbic System – Hippocampus and Amygdala Prof. K. Sivapalan

2 23-03-14 Hippocampus Hippocampus forms the floor of the lateral ventricles. It abuts the amygdaloid nucleus anteriorly It fuses with parahippocampus laterally which is the ventromedial portion of the temporal lobe. Hippocampus forms the floor of the lateral ventricles.

Output to all cortical areas, hippocampus, septum, thalamus, and especially to hypothalamus.
