Hippocampal fimbria

The hippocampal fimbria (lat. fimbria hippocampi) is an area of ​​the brain that, according to scientists, is part of the hippocampus and is involved in emotional and consolidative learning. The fimbria is part of the cingulum system - a thick umbilical bundle of nerve fibers. It is with the help of this system that memories are remembered and encoded (consolidated).

The Hippocratic fringe, also sometimes called the hippocratic fringe, is a very thin strip of connective tissue located between the rat's brain tissue and the connective tissue of the brain. Unlike normal tissue in other parts of the brain, the fimbria is not visible from either the outside or inside of the rat's head; its thickness is typically about 4 microns in any direction. To conduct laboratory tests, scientists need to have access to the fimbria of the hippocampus to see markers that provide information about the location of these cells in the brain. Therefore, this structure is important for biologists.
