The alveus arises from cell bodies in the [[subiculum]] and [[hippocampus]], and eventually merges with the [[fimbria]] of the hippocampus. The fimbria goes on to become the [[fornix]]. These structures are part of the [[limbic system]]. == See also == * [[Telencephalon|Cerebrum]] * [[Hippocampus]] * [[Limbic system]] ==Additional images== <gallery> Image:Gray749.png|Coronal section of inferior horn of lateral ventricle. </gallery> == References == * "Alveus of the hippocampus." <i>Stedman's Medical Dictionary, 27th ed.</i> (2000).
