  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 ...

    Fimbria-fornix fibers are the hippocampal and subicular gateway to and from subcortical brain regions. [ 10 ] [ 11 ] Different parts of this system are given different names: White myelinated fibers that cover the ventricular (deep) parts of hippocampus make alveus .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periaqueductal_gray

    The periaqueductal gray (PAG), also known as the central gray, is a brain region that plays a critical role in autonomic function, motivated behavior and behavioural responses to threatening stimuli. [1] [2] PAG is also the primary control center for descending pain modulation. It has enkephalin-producing cells that suppress pain.

  6. Perirhinal cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perirhinal_cortex

    The perirhinal cortex is a cortical region in the medial temporal lobe that is made up of Brodmann areas 35 and 36.It receives highly processed sensory information from all sensory regions, and is generally accepted to be an important region for memory.

    This region has the smallest number of place cells. The ventral hippocampus functions in fear conditioning and affective processes. [ 33 ] Anagnostaras et al. (2002) showed that alterations to the ventral hippocampus reduced the amount of information sent to the amygdala by the dorsal and ventral hippocampus, consequently altering fear ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_brain

    Information about the structure and function of the human brain comes from a variety of experimental methods, including animals and humans. Information about brain trauma and stroke has provided information about the function of parts of the brain and the effects of brain damage. Neuroimaging is used to visualise the brain and record brain ...

    Hilar thorny excrescences are more dense and complex than those in CA3. It has been shown that the axons of granule cells from the dentate gyrus synapse with hilar mossy cells and GABAergic interneurons including basket cells before reaching pyramidal cells in the CA3 region, [4] providing input from the entorhinal cortex through the perforant ...
