Mammillary bodies, and their projections to the anterior thalamus via the mammillothalamic tract, are important for recollective memory. [7] According to studies of rats with mammillary body lesions, damage to the medial mammillary nucleus lead to spatial memory deficits.
The mammillothalamic tract is part of the Papez circuit (involved in spatial memory), starting and finishing in the hippocampus. [1] The fibers of the MMT are heavily myelinated. [2] [3] [4] It arises from the medial and lateral nuclei of the mammillary bodies, and from fibers that are directly continued from the fornix of the hippocampus.
Some scientists have narrowed it down to specifically spatial and episodic memory. [9] [10] Damage to the mammillothalamic tract, ventral anterior nucleus, and ventral lateral nucleus can result in memory and language impairment. [11] Amnesia can be a result of disconnection of the mammillary bodies from the Papez circuit. [12]
The city of Philadelphia settled Monday with the parents of Ellen Greenberg, a teacher whose 2011 death was ruled a suicide after she was found with nearly two dozen stab wounds and covered in ...

The woman’s body was found in Cape May County and has two striking tattoos: a koi fish on her right shoulder blade and a rose on her ribs. Body of mysterious tattooed woman found stuffed inside ...
The medial dorsal nucleus (or mediodorsal nucleus of thalamus, dorsomedial nucleus, dorsal medial nucleus, or medial nucleus group) is a large nucleus in the thalamus. [1] [2] It is separated from the other thalamic nuclei by the internal medullary lamina.
An autopsy eliminated some ways that a person found near Highway 240 died, but it’s still not clear what killed him. The person, believed to be a man, was spotted near the eastbound lanes of ...
