    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 ...
