Fimbria of hippocampus
Fimbria hippocampi
Definition
The fimbria of hippocampus refers to bundles of fibers that are formed when the white matter fibers known as the alveus converge on the medial side of the hippocampus. These fimbriae, or fiber bundles, subsequently extend further to form the crura of the fornix.
