The Fornix exact functional importance is not clear.
The Fornix is a prominent bundle of axons interconnecting ipsilateral ( i.e. same side ) regions of certain limbic parts of the forebrain.
Most of the fibers are axons of pyramidal neurons in the hippocampus which project to the septal nuclei ( which is below the septum pellucidum ) and to the mammillary nuclei ( in the hypothalamus ) where they synapse.
