    'arch'; pl.: fornices) is a C-shaped bundle of nerve fibers in the brain that acts as the major output tract of the hippocampus. The fornix also carries some afferent fibers to the hippocampus from structures in the diencephalon and basal forebrain. The fornix is part of the limbic system. While its exact function and importance in the ...

    The hippocampus is located in the allocortex, with neural projections into the neocortex, in humans [1] [2] [3] as well as other primates. [4] The hippocampus, as the medial pallium, is a structure found in all vertebrates.

  9. Watershed stroke - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watershed_stroke

    Watershed stroke symptoms are due to the reduced blood flow to all parts of the body, specifically the brain, thus leading to brain damage. Initial symptoms, as promoted by the American Stroke Association, are FAST, representing F = Facial weakness (droop), A = Arm weakness (drift), S = Speech difficulty (slur), and T = Time to act (priority of intervention).
