Mammillothalamic tract
text:
The mammillothalamic tract is an efferent pathway of the mammillary body which projects to the anterior nuclei of the thalamus. It consists of heavily myelinated fibres. It is part of a brain circuit involved in spatial memory. It arises from the mammillary body and from fibers that are directly continued from the fornix. It connects the mammillary body to the dorsal tegmental nuclei, the ventral tegmental nuclei, and the anterior thalamic nuclei.
