The projection of neurons in the septal nuclei and the insula magna of the islands of Callaja (IC) was explored together with their response to stimulation of the fornix. The septal nuclei all contained neurons projecting in the medial forebrain bundle (MFB). Only the diagonal band of Broca (DBB) and the lateral septal nucleus (LS) contained many neurons projecting toward the medial basal hypothalamus (MBH). The spatial distribution of neurons excited by stimulation of the fornix in the DBB was almost identical with the distribution of neurons projecting toward the MBH and there was considerable overlap (10/28 cells). In the medial septal nucleus the spatial distribution of neurons excited by stimulation of the fornix and neurons projecting in the MFB was similar and there was considerable overlap (6/21 cells). The connectivity of the IC resembled that of the MS but there was little overlap between the neurons excited by fornix stimulation and those projecting in the MFB (1/27 cells). In the LS there were almost equal numbers of neurons projecting in the MFB and toward the MBH but there was very little input from the fornix. Neurons were significantly more often excited by stimulation of the lateral fornix, carrying axons from the subiculum, than they were by medial stimulation exciting axons from Ammon's horn. Axons projecting toward the MBH or in the MFB had conduction velocities less than 1 m/s.
