  2. Hippocampus proper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocampus_proper

    The polymorphic layer is often called the hilus or hilar region. [12] 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 ...

    Human hippocampus Nissl-stained coronal section of the brain of a macaque monkey, showing hippocampus (circled). Hippocampus anatomy describes the physical aspects and properties of the hippocampus, a neural structure in the medial temporal lobe of the brain.

  5. Perirhinal cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perirhinal_cortex

    The perirhinal cortex is involved in both visual perception and memory; [1] it facilitates the recognition and identification of environmental stimuli. Lesions to the perirhinal cortex in both monkeys and rats lead to the impairment of visual recognition memory, disrupting stimulus-stimulus associations and object-recognition abilities.

    Image 2: Cross-section of cerebral hemisphere showing structure and location of hippocampus Image 3: Coronal section of the brain of a macaque monkey, showing hippocampus (circled) The hippocampus can be seen as a ridge of gray matter tissue, elevating from the floor of each lateral ventricle in the region of the inferior or temporal horn.

  7. Temporal lobe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_lobe

    The medial temporal lobe structures are critical for long-term memory, and include the hippocampal formation, perirhinal cortex, parahippocampal, and entorhinal neocortical regions. [4]: 196 [5] The hippocampus is critical for memory formation, and the surrounding medial temporal cortex is currently theorized to be critical for memory storage.

    This development section covers changes in brain structure over time. It includes both the normal development of the human brain from infant to adult and genetic and evolutionary changes over many generations. Neural development in humans; Neuroplasticity – changes in a brain due to behavior, environment, aging, injury etc.

  9. Human brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_brain

    The brain is the central organ of the human nervous system, and with the spinal cord, comprises the central nervous system. It consists of the cerebrum, the brainstem and the cerebellum. The brain controls most of the activities of the body, processing, integrating, and coordinating the information it receives from the sensory nervous system ...
