Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fimbria fornix is a major output pathway from the hippocampus, which is believed to be involved in the formation of new memories. Damage to the fimbria fornix disrupts the flow of information from the hippocampus to other parts of the brain, leading to temporal lobe amnesia. The other options (B, C, D) are not directly involved in the output of the hippocampus and do not play a significant role in temporal lobe amnesia.
