Ex vivo FLASH images following Papez's circuit at 120 μm. (A) EC, dentate gyrus and hippocampus. (B) Fornix (white arrowheads) and mammillary bodies of the hypothalamus. (C) Mammillary bodies project to anterior nucleus of the thalamus via the mammillothalamic tract (D). Anterior nucleus of the thalamus projecting to cingulate cortex via the anterior limb of the internal capsule (black star). (E) Cingulate cortex via cingulum. (F) Presubiculum and EC. The high resolution images of cortical and subcortical structures reveal contrast differences between white and gray matter in the classic limbic circuit. Magnification bar, 1 cm. Abbreviations: A, anterior nucleus of the thalamus; AB, angular bundle; aIC, anterior limb of the internal capsule; C, caudate; CC, corpus callosum; DG, dentate gyrus; EC, entorhinal cortex; FM, fimbria; genu IC, genu of the internal capsule; GPe, external globus pallidus; GPi, internal globus pallidus; HP, hippocampus; LD, lateral dorsal nuclues of the thalamus; LV, lateral ventricle; MB, mammillary bodies; MTT, mammillothalamic tract; OT, optic tract; P, putamen; pIC, posterior limb of the internal capsule; PP, perforant pathway; PR, perirhinal cortex; PRESUB, presubiculum; PU, pulvinar; RN, red nuclues; SCC, splenium of the corpus callosum; SN, substantia nigra; SUB, subiculum; UHP, uncal hippocampus; VA, ventral anterior nucleus of the thalamus.
