Hippocampus anatomy describes the physical aspects and properties of the hippocampus, a neural structure in the medial temporal lobe of the brain. It has a distinctive, curved shape that has been likened to the sea-horse monster of Greek mythology and the ram's horns of Amun in Egyptian mythology .
The hippocampus is located in the allocortex, with neural projections into the neocortex, in humans [1] [2] [3] as well as other primates. [4] The hippocampus, as the medial pallium, is a structure found in all vertebrates. [5] In humans, it contains two main interlocking parts: the hippocampus proper (also called Ammon's horn), and the dentate ...
The hippocampus. The hippocampus is a structure in the brain that has been associated with various memory functions. It is part of the limbic system, and lies next to the medial temporal lobe. It is made up of two structures, the Ammon's Horn, and the Dentate gyrus, each containing different types of cells. [1]
Imagination – the ability to form new images and sensations that are not perceived through sight, hearing, or other senses; Wakefulness. Pre-attentive processing – the unconscious accumulation of information from the environment; Preconscious – information that is available for cognitive processing but that currently lies outside ...
Winged hippocamp in an Art Deco fountain, Kansas City, Missouri, (1937). The hippocampus or hippocamp, also hippokampos (plural: hippocampi or hippocamps; Ancient Greek: ἱππόκαμπος, from ἵππος, 'horse', and κάμπος, 'sea monster' [1]), often called a sea-horse [2] in English, [citation needed] is a mythological creature shared by Phoenician, [3] Etruscan, Pictish, Roman ...
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.
The dentate gyrus (DG) is part of the hippocampal formation in the temporal lobe of the brain, which also includes the hippocampus and the subiculum.The dentate gyrus is part of the hippocampal trisynaptic circuit and is thought to contribute to the formation of new episodic memories, [1] [2] the spontaneous exploration of novel environments [2] and other functions.
