  2. Lateral ventricles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_ventricles

    Lateral ventricles and horns The lateral ventricles connected to the third ventricle by the interventricular foramina. Each lateral ventricle takes the form of an elongated curve, with an additional anterior-facing continuation emerging inferiorly from a point near the posterior end of the curve; the junction is known as the trigone of the lateral ventricle.

  3. Brain asymmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_asymmetry

    There are particularly large asymmetries in the frontal, temporal and occipital lobes, which increase in asymmetry in the antero-posterior direction beginning at the central region. Leftward asymmetry can be seen in the Heschl gyrus, parietal operculum , Silvian fissure, left cingulate gyrus, temporo-parietal region and planum temporale.

  4. Hippocampus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocampus

    The human hippocampus and fornix (left) compared with a seahorse (right) [9] The earliest description of the ridge running along the floor of the inferior horn of the lateral ventricle comes from the Venetian anatomist Julius Caesar Aranzi (1587), who likened it first to a silkworm and then to a seahorse ( Latin hippocampus , from Greek ...

  5. Hippocampus anatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocampus_anatomy

    The head is the expanded part near to the temporal lobe. The structure was named the hippocampus after its resemblance to a seahorse. Its general structural layout is similar across the species. [3] Cut in cross section, the hippocampus is C-shaped resembling a ram's horn.

  6. Entorhinal cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entorhinal_cortex

    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.

  7. Hippocampal formation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocampal_formation

    The hippocampal formation is a compound structure in the medial temporal lobe of the brain. It forms a c-shaped bulge on the floor of the inferior horn of the lateral ventricle . [ 1 ] Typically, the hippocampal formation is said to included the dentate gyrus , the hippocampus , and the subiculum . [ 2 ]

  8. Temporal lobe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_lobe

    The temporal lobe is located beneath the lateral fissure on both cerebral hemispheres of the mammalian brain. [3] The temporal lobe is involved in processing sensory input into derived meanings for the appropriate retention of visual memory, language comprehension, and emotion association. [4]: 21 Temporal refers to the head's temples.

  9. Cerebrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebrum

    The cerebrum (pl.: cerebra), telencephalon or endbrain [1] is the largest part of the brain, containing the cerebral cortex (of the two cerebral hemispheres) as well as several subcortical structures, including the hippocampus, basal ganglia, and olfactory bulb.
