Hippocampus is connected to hypothalamus by which structure?: (A) Fornix, (B) Mammilary bodies, (C) Median forebrain bundles, (D) Septal nuclei

It constitutes the sole efferent system of the hippocampus. *The medial forebrain bundle (MFB), is a pa of reward system, containing fibers from the basal olfactory regions, periamygdaloid region septal nuclei, as well as fibers from ventral tegmental area.
