The
hippocampus (h; 1, 2) is exposed in this ventral view of an isolated cerebrum, from a sheep. Nerve fibers from the hippocampus emerge laterally in the
fimbria (fi) and then run rostrally as the
fornix (fo). The fornix passes close to the rostral commissure (black thread). The hippocampus begins deep to the piriform lobe (p). To return to the dorsal view, click
