Difference between Fornix (neuroanatomy) and Hypothalamus

Fornix (neuroanatomy) vs. Hypothalamus

The fornix (arch) is a C-shaped bundle of nerve fibers in the brain that acts as the major output tract of the hippocampus. The hypothalamus(from Greek ὑπό, "under" and θάλαμος, thalamus) is a portion of the brain that contains a number of small nuclei with a variety of functions.

Similarities between Fornix (neuroanatomy) and Hypothalamus

Fornix (neuroanatomy) and Hypothalamus have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Axon, Brain, Diencephalon, Fornix (neuroanatomy), Limbic system, Mammillary body, Thalamus.

Axon

An axon (from Greek ἄξων áxōn, axis) or nerve fiber, is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that typically conducts electrical impulses known as action potentials, away from the nerve cell body.

Brain

The brain is an organ that serves as the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals.

Diencephalon

The diencephalon is a division of the forebrain (embryonic prosencephalon), and is situated between the telencephalon and the midbrain (embryonic mesencephalon).

Limbic system

The limbic system is a set of brain structures located on both sides of the thalamus, immediately beneath the cerebrum.

Mammillary body

The mammillary bodies are a pair of small round bodies, located on the undersurface of the brain that, as part of the diencephalon, form part of the limbic system.

Thalamus

The thalamus (from Greek θάλαμος, "chamber") is the large mass of gray matter in the dorsal part of the diencephalon of the brain with several functions such as relaying of sensory signals, including motor signals, to the cerebral cortex, and the regulation of consciousness, sleep, and alertness.
