Projection of the MTT from the MB to the ANT.
The figure shows a sagittal view of the brain, with the small, round, diencephalic mammillary bodies (MB) located underneath. The unimodal projection of the mammillothalamic tract (MTT) from the MB to the anterior thalamic nuclei (ANT) is highlighted. This pathway is known to play a crucial role in recollective memory.
