25 paź 2024 · The hippocampus receives input from and sends output to the rest of the brain via a structure known as the entorhinal cortex, which is located beneath the anterior (frontal) region of the hippocampus. The hippocampal formation itself is composed of several subregions, which include the cornu ammonis (CA1–4), the dentate gyrus, and the subiculum.
3 kwi 2023 · The authors find that the hippocampus creates a spatial and predictive cognitive map, and show how orbitofrontal and hippocampal computations select these maps adaptively to guide novel choices.
19 wrz 2023 · There are two hippocampi in each hemisphere of the brain, located within the temporal lobe, just above each ear. The hippocampus is one of the most studied areas of the brain and is also one of the few places where neurogenesis occurs, the process by which new neurons are produced.
The hippocampus is anatomically connected to parts of the brain that are involved with emotional behavior – the septum, the hypothalamic mammillary body, and the anterior nuclear complex in the thalamus, and is generally accepted to be part of the limbic system.
2 paź 2017 · A cognitive map has long been the dominant metaphor for hippocampal function, embracing the idea that place cells encode a geometric representation of space. However, evidence for predictive ...
30 paź 2023 · The elongated hippocampal structures lie along the longitudinal axis of the brain and form the floor and part of the medial wall of the inferior horns of the lateral ventricles. The hippocampus has many functions, but it is best known for its role in learning and memory.
