text: An additional possibility is that the mammillary bodies, receiving long-axon fiber projections from the hippocampus via the fibers of the fornix, may be subjected to excitotoxic injury from those fibers by hypoxia resulting from hypoventilation during sleep, in a similar fashion that Purkinje cells can be injured with hyperexcitation of climbing fibers from the inferior olive (43), and hippocampal neuronal damage can result from excessive excitation of Schaffer's collaterals during seizure discharge (44).
