The polymorphic layer is often called the hilus or hilar region. [14] The neurons in the polymorphic layer, including mossy cells and GABAergic interneurons, primarily receive inputs from the granule cells in the dentate gyrus in the form of mossy fibers and project to the inner molecular layer of the dentate gyrus via the associational ...

Hippocampus in the human brain Nissl-stained coronal section of the brain of a macaque monkey, showing hippocampal formation and subfields (circled). Hippocampus anatomy describes the physical aspects and properties of the hippocampus, a neural structure in the medial temporal lobe of each cerebral hemisphere of the brain.
Damage to the hippocampus does not affect some types of memory, such as the ability to learn new skills (playing a musical instrument or solving certain types of puzzles, for example). This fact suggests that such abilities depend on different types of memory such as procedural memory in implicit memory function, implicating different brain ...
Brodmann area 7 is part of the parietal cortex in the human brain.Situated posterior to the primary somatosensory cortex (Brodmann areas 3, 1 and 2), and superior to the occipital lobe, this region is believed to play a role in visuo-motor coordination (e.g., in reaching to grasp an object).
View of left entorhinal cortex (red) from beneath the brain, with front of brain at top. Artist's rendering. The superficial layers – layers II and III – of EC project to the dentate gyrus and hippocampus: Layer II projects primarily to dentate gyrus and hippocampal region CA3; layer III projects primarily to hippocampal region CA1 and the subiculum.
Mossy fibers form multiple synapses with the elaborate dendritic spines of CA3 pyramidal cells in the stratum lucidum of the hippocampus. These complex spines are known as thorny excrescences. [4] [15] Thorny excrescences also cover the proximal dendrites of mossy cells in the hilus. Hilar thorny excrescences are more dense and complex than ...
The nose is referred to as the nasal region. The mouth is referred to as the oral region. The chin is referred to as the mental region. The neck is referred to as the cervical region. The trunk of the body contains, from superior to inferior, the thoracic region encompassing the chest [1] the mammary region encompassing each breast
